MacFatro - Fatbike news and builds thread

Anyone on here on fatbike forum? Trying to register but not having much luck! After a second hand fatbike.

There's only a couple of guys that run the registration so it can take a week or so for them to pick up the mail.
Not a lot for sale on site just now, singletrack is usually a better place to pick up a second hand fatty.

Fatbikes are mainstream and dull now, better start looking for a new niche:

That thing must weigh more than Keith!

Better power to weight ratio than either Keith or Clubby, both of whom have a better power to weight ratios than me I hasten to add, hence my liking for the electrically assisted behemoth !

Re:

i dunno V, last time we went on your midlothian trails I was absolutely shattered and that was when i was fit and have the memory of you looking like a spring daisy at the end of the ride!

Yes but I was on a normal bike, fat bikes knacker the hell out of me fun though they are. I do notice the lag in response on a 29er over a 26er when you put the power down, a fatty is much worse than that especially over distance !

Half fat is the answer. Best of both worlds, and still suitably niche

Yes but I was fat knacker

'V' do you mind if I use that as my new signature? :mrgreen:
