Err sort of. The front is a Jackelope set up tubeless but the rear is a Surly Marge Lite converted to tubeless. I smashed up the rear Jackelope rim early on and rebuilt it with the Surly. Originally Posted by Shredhead

Skinny Minions are on my other bikes. Hard to find a better tire for around here. Originally Posted by forty

it was 32 degrees warmer today then Monday - and we're gaining an hour more of daylight every 10 days (each day is over 6 minutes longer than the previous one)
magic hour lasts a couple hours this time of year

I love that the slow motion of a fatbike fall allows you time to think about your poor decision making. Originally Posted by springsproject

I wouldn't call that poor decision making. Off line by a hair and you go from firm to post holing and over the bars. Log rides are the training ground for fat rides.

I have skinny studded Nokian Extremes on my old Bridgestone for total ice. But I'm not sold on them for the fatty around here.
They grab too much mud and leaves with the frequent freeze/thaw we have in the midwest.

Yeah, I have studs on my phat and so far that has been the issue. They pick up so many leaves and I'm not real confident on steep granite climbs. Ideally, I'd have two wheelsets ready to go depending on conditions. When it has been icy and firm, the studs are incredibly fun...and safe. Originally Posted by Shredhead

Does wonders for breaking up the leaves.

This guy biked for over 7 days in temps down to -40 to win the Yukon Arctic Ultra. He seemed happy to chat despite being 500m from the finish (maybe because it was a sunny -26C). Props to Bernhard Hasenbalg. Guy derserves to have the word 'hard' in his name.

I got a Wednesday this year. I put an XT drivetrain on it I had laying around, some 45NRTH 4.8's as well as some wider bars. Great geometry and a super fun to ride. It's heavy but I knew that going in and it hasn't held me back. Would buy again for the money.
a positive attitude will not solve all of your problems, but it may annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

Sorry for the jong question but I saw this at Costco the other day and thought, shit for $200 why not pick one up to screw around with. Is this thing just terrible? Or will it be ok for banging around on little trails by my house while I'm out with my kids?

Cletus: Duly noted.

It's heavy, but what the hell. It's fine for your intended use.
I have more than that, in just tires, on mine.
