Full Spectrum Cycling began as a podcast; but it also began as an idea. That idea is the desire to showcase cycling, the folks who ride, the places they go, the experiences they have and the gear that makes their journey possible. Join us as we explore the many facets of cycling!
I originally started this channel while working on fat-bike.com. That site still lives on but this channel hadn't seen any updates since 2017. With Full Spectrum Cycling I've expand our coverage to many bicycling pursuits and rebranding this channel to better reflect our current work, and as a place to upload new stories, seemed like a good idea.
Initially this channel will be another outlet for our audio podcast while we work to create new video content that reflects this channel's goals.
If you are a current subscriber please join us for the ride!

Digging the RW24 vibes! Looks like I’ll volunteer for 2025 to join in the fun!
Excellent! With the evolving format volunteering is one of the best ways to get the most out of the weekend!
I know this is an old post but I wanted to chime in in case someone is looking at these tires. My fat bike came with the regular version of thes tires. I wanted something with less rolling resistance, so, I replaced them after a few hundred miles. When I took them off I weighed them. They were 2700 grams and 2400 grams each. By changing them the bike was over 2800 grams lighter. Plus, those grams were rotational weight so it made a huge difference.I would recommend those tires to nobody.
what did you replace them with?
@@robertballesteros2326 Schwalbe Jumbo Jims 26x4 1065 grams stated and both very close to that.
Kenda doesn't make tires for 26x4 hours I'm looking for tires without grip, circuit tires without any wrinkles
Kenda and VeeTire both make fatbike tires with little or no tread. Mostly for electric bikes these days. If you are looking for fast fatbike tires for your acoustic (non-electric) fatbike try to find a set of the now discontinued Surly Black Floyd tires. Fast Rolling but thin skins so watch out for flats.
Kenda nu fabrica cauciucuri pentru oras de 26x4 eu caut cauciucuri fara grip cauciucuri de circuit fara nici un rid
the new theme music is better!!
Thanks! Wondering if we should keep it. Maybe we can bring the old one back once a moth of nostalgia's sake.
Change the drivetrain to a 9 sp CUES, it will handle the torque much better.
Thanks for the suggestion! We discussed this with the customer and will be doing just that when their current drivetrain wears out.
Audio sounded like only Sven’s microphone was picking up JK & Tony’s voice 🤷🏻♂️
Yep, may have had to use a backup. I'll remember to push the button on the Rodecaster this week!
This “Listener” Can’t wait to see the Daikaiju episode 😍….. they came to Cleveland and i was out of town and missed the show 😩
Definitely worth catching a Daikaiju show at some point! Your humble hosts have all seen them multiple times and they don't dissapoint!
“The Listener” really enjoys you having the podcast on KZread 👍
Thanks, Keith! We aim to keep 'em coming!
Nice video 👍 thinking of doing the same with my bullit
The upgrade from the older BBS-01 was definitely noticeable as was the slight jump in voltage from 48 to 52. The 52 sits in the sweet voltage spot longer.
nice build, added to my wishlist :)
Thanks! Can't go wrong with the Bafangs. They have been around long enough and are well supported.
i wish you’d shown us a bit of b-roll of the actual bike!!
I wish so too! It was a really quick thing that happened last minute. That said keep an eye on Dave's Northwoods Ramble channel. He will be doing a lot of dogpacking stuff. www.youtube.com/@lifeabove8
Did you have to alter the motor housing or the frame of the bike near the bottom bracket to get the motor to slide in?
Not on this build. That said, there was a BBS-02 on the bike that had been previously installed but I don't know if the original installer had modified anything on the frame. I didn't notice any signs of mods though. In this case it went in smooth as butter.
Dave Lapel 😂
Will the Wren fork fit 27.5x4.0 and 29x3.0 wheels?
Yes, plenty of room for either. Wren has made a few different Axle-to-crown lengths to mimic different travel suspension forks. You can check with Kevin at Wren to make sure a given version will work for you.
Quality build !
Thanks! We had fun building it.
Thanks guys, you fuckin rule!
Right on! Thanks for checking in!
Back when surly was cool
For sure. The changes at the mothership have not been well received in some circles!
Great show boys! Keep 'em Coming! \m/,
Great segment Greg and well explained. I wouldn't subject those Paul Klampers to those conditions either Bro. It's kind of like blinging out a mud bogger, it just doesn't make sense. I am curious how tire pressure comes into play in the summer where you guys are. I know here in Ogden I run very high pressure in the summer, like 35-40 pounds, in most conditions with a few exceptions like specific trails that have a lot of shale and gravel. On those trails I will drop down to 10-15 in some places. I would love to see more of your tips and tricks born of years of experience. Cheers Bro!
Right on, Mark! On fatbikes I usually run 15ish for trails and 4-5 on the beach. Snow is variable because there are so many different conditions.
This is what almost happened to that penny farthing after it put me in the hospital!!! kzread.infoh8M6wJIDiUw?si=Fx0_a86YJRoZEcdW
Great show Boys! Thank you for having me on. I always enjoy chatting with you guys. It is going to be a Great Summer! - \m/,
Perfect Sir! Great job and segue. I am stoked to follow this channel and I will be sharing it every chance I can. Cheers my Brother! LYB
Great segment Bro! Well good Greg! Cheers - M
Right on, Mark! Working on some format ideas.
Fun stuff. Nothing like recording a telephone call. Big brother
Next week we should be firing on all cylinders and put to rest this chapter. Stay tuned!
How about a link to the pics of Tony cutting fire wood?!
Here you go! fullspectrumcycling.com/full-spectrum-cycling-240-shiverwest-24-recap-poll-26-or-27-5-fatbike-tires-stupid-bike-industry/img_0142/
The sound was great. Interested to see how the video progresses.
You and me both!
Right on Brother! \m/,
Thanks, Mark! Looking forward to seeing your Channel too!
Why are we still showing this video because thay don't make it anymore
Wish all tires seated this easily.
On your way to be internet famous... no need for explanations just watch and monkey see monkey do
i have them on my ebike, i have 840 miles on them, back is about 20 percent left, front is about 50 percent, and i get a flat almost every ride on the back tire. i have a new set ready, but i know next year i will need a new set. i will try maxxis next time.
here we are 9 years later, and fatbikes have disappeared. Now we hear the same BS for 36" wheels bikes.
I'm pretty sure that is a super clamp 2-bike and not a freedom.
These are bicycle tires listed at that price ?. crazy...
Sick bike me like 👍🏿
I have the Pro 26x4.0 and they are OH so lightweight. By going tubeless & switching tires, the bike lost four pounds of rotational mass! Amazing difference. Thanks, Kenda!
The 5.05 tire will not fit into the BLUTO
Nice work! I have heard great things about your bikes!😎
I have the same bike trying to find where can I buy a bottom crank set for it
Super helpful, I love how you didn’t bother to explain anything. Keep up the work
HOW COME I CAN'T FIND KRUSADE 26X4.0 ANYWHERE? DID YOU GUYS FORGET TO MAKE THEM?
Have heard the plastic wheel cup holders break?????? Anyone feedback???
Not the freedom model
Super helpful video
I guess they have not heard of the Manitou Mastodon. Performs better than both of these shocks.
It didn't exist in 2016 when this video was made.
I’m interested in this product. I can’t find it anywhere. Is it available?
