I just bought a fat bike this winter. The road to tire friction is much higher than a mountain bike, so be prepared to work your ass off. Even on a flat surface, no snow I found myself gasping for air just riding a short distant. I am over 50, ( which may be part of the problem) a health enthusiast so I like challenges. I normally ride my mountain bike to work four miles daily; no problem. With the fat bike I have to ride and occasionally walk part of the way to relive the lactic acid in my legs. I enjoy the benefit of a stronger, healthier body so I will continue to ride and see if I can make it all the way to work without walking.

Hey GMBN, I'd like to see your all thoughts on the chubby bikes (3in tires) and I'm in interested in how you justify paying so much for these bikes. I've been wanting several bikes but I'm restricted by price. Also, this channel is amazing!

Merry Christmas everyone!

hi can i feet 29er plus tire in fatbike frame? i used 29er 50mm rim 29x3.0 tire?

I use a Corelli Forte 2.0 fat bike. I prefer fun over speed.

it seems that the tyres are with tubes and the tube is not protected completely. the only reason could be the weight saving but isnt it making is vulnerable to harsh weather and flying stones etc while riding?

which rim brakes are best for this bike?

Are fat bikes suitable for daily city commute?? And are they suitable for tall and heavy people who are over 6'3" and 100 kilograms....can anyone clarify please. And what about the puncture problems with these bikes....

Once I ride them, I swear I feel like the one and only *Ghost Rider* 🔥😍👌🔥

@skibikeride2000

8 жыл бұрын

If you put your foot on the pedal and rotate the crank so the pedal is at the bottom of the rotation and you sit on the seat your leg should be bent just a little bit at the knee without needing to rock your hips. If your doing downhill I would advise dropping the seat a little bit. Also dropper post don't make it so you don't need to set the seat up properly. You set the seat at the same height and being able to drop the seat allows you more range of motion when your going downhill

Fatbike wheels won't fit in your frame no.

I've been riding this bike for 7 years now! kzread.infoUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L It was a great bike the day I got it, put it together, and went on my first ride; more importantly it's an even better bike today. I've ridden trails, street, and skatepark all on this bike. I have replaced almost every part on the bike. Some stuff has broken: derailleurs, wheels, shifter. Everything else were upgrades. The only ramaing original parts are the frame, bottom bracket, and crank set. BB and cranks will be upgraded soon. The geometry isn't great but that is really the only draw back to how good a value this bike is. Even after all the money I've spent upgrading it's still a more affordable bike than I'd have bought from a proper bike shop, especially with full suspension. I've also learned a lot about bikes working on it over the years. It really is one of the best perchases I've ever made and hopefully it'll still be around for another 7 years.

Did Neil just say mega grip!?!?!?!?!?!

Sorry this may be a stupid question but: Can you puncture on a fat bike and if so is it the same method to stick a new tube in?

@samwayne9000

It is possible but very hard to do so because of thickness and you're weight being rather not so much of an factor as compared to normal bikes tyres

@OldDirtGuy

That depends on the tire. The 45NRTH Escalator comes in a 180TPI casing that punctures fairly easily. They are better for snow use only IMO. I got a puncture the size of my index finger in one. When I went tubeless with a 120TPI Hüsker Dü set. I got small punctures so often that I gave up on the idea. Cleaning sealant off of your bike over and over again will do that for you. I think the tube helps the light casing tire resist punctures. I'll use a heavier casing tire next time I go tubeless. In answer to the caped crusader. Fat bike tires are easy to pop a tube into. You'll be pumping for a bit longer however. You'll make it home without noticing with a small puncture, only to find that your tire is flat the next day.
