Entered....Freehub sorted. The cassette spacer wasn't thick enough so the lock ring was impinging on the freehub. Was hoping for a "Secret click" on the wishbone shifters but no such luck🤨

As there are some amazing Titanium bikes in this month's BOTM I thought I would keep the theme going. @yakboy 1992 Litespeed Mountain https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/austrian-litespeed-find.430074/

There are some incredible Titanium Beauty's in this months BOTM so my chances are slim but it would be in good company

Well for the purposes of photography the Litespeed is done. A few niggles to sort out ( principly the TNT freehub which is not freehubbing so needs a strip down. Pics below with the specs. 1991/1992 ( not sure yet) Litespeed Mountain Frame with Manitou One's and Mavic Headset TNT cranks and...

Nearly done...front derailleur to cable up and chain on then that should just about do it

Done and working...was being a bit thick after all😅

Thanks for the reply...makes complete sense....Will recable now.

Am I being really thick?? Setting up the cantilever brakes threading the cable through the stem. When the suspension is compressed the cable tension is lost and so is the brakes...what have I done wrong?

Tyre pressure makes a huge difference with snow and sand. You need tubeless and no more than 3psi to stand a chance

Do it....you won't regret it. There are always plenty avaliable on the Facebook Fat Bike Groups

Look closely at the fork and you'll see why. I run tubeless so no inner tubes. Sure there is drag but also grip😁

Ok here's my four penneth on the subject. Fat Bikes are definitely not dead ( I am not including the travesty that are E- Fatbikes and those horrible folding jobbies). Sure they have fallen off the radar and out of the Zeitgeist but amongst the dedicated they are as strong as ever. New frames...

And look you can get Tanwalls and HED look alike rims as well...what's not to like ;)

You can rent Fatbikes from Nina at GeiloAktiv. But I realise you are a fair bit further up than that. There is a shop in Oslo you can hire Fatbikes from

Geilo, Norway..took park in Fat Viking 2023 and back for 2024

Still ride and love mine...takes me to places that other bikes can't reach

I've got my impact wrench on my compressor which is my go to but need to get a socket to fit the BB tool...at bit of Google searching needed
