I am thinking this a tease for us that don't have the fat tire yet. Next year! ! I will once again this winter have to settle for studs on roads and maybe some mtb'ing on packed down trails.
ReplyDelete8 inches man!, lucky you joe!,
ReplyDeletehope you can get some pics!
rlove2bike ~~~ not meant as a tease, but now that ya mention it ;) ;).
ReplyDeleteA Fat bike in your future?? How cool is that!!!
What flavor are ya thinking?? The Mukluk is looking very interesting!
One thing I like about the Pugs is the compatability with 9zero7 down the road. Everything fit on the 9zero7 but the seatpost. Food for thought.
You ride what ya got, and there's nothing wrong with that; as long as one gets out and enjoys ones self is all that really matters!!!
Bruce ~~~ here in Hibbing we'll prob only see 1-4", but any will be just fine by me!!! 8" would be awesome, but by the big lake (Superior), is where the totals should be higher. Here's to looking forward to making plenty of 1st tracks!!!!
im with you on the 9zero7 upgrade further down the road...i like there frame,also there new drilled rims,you seen them?,im thinking of there wopping 100mm drilled rims to lighten the pug,get more float for the beach and because 4" rims look bitchin!
ReplyDeleteBruce ~~~~~ i've seen the Rolling D's.
ReplyDeletei've also been looking at these... http://www.chainreactioncycles.us/Flattop%20Rim.html
i don't know if i'd go with the 100mm (big iron ore rocks in this area), but the 80mm for sure!! maybe laced up to a Rolhoff or Alfine IGH!! ;)
Peace
We finished the day with 9 very wet and heavy inches of snow.
