MacFatro - Fatbike news and builds thread

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

Or the worst. All the drag of a fat tyre without the ability to go where a full fat will. Anyway, proper niche would be 29er front / fat rear


Depends on the bike V, my flash 29er accelerates like no MTB I've ever owned.

Yes but I was fat knacker

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

I see the MacRetro fairies/puffters/faggets have been at it again :mrgreen:

I take exception sir, this is proper niche...

A recumbent, folding, fixed, penny farthing.

As ZZ said on Sunday, Riding a fatty is like cheating, they just go everywhere and over anything. Really glad I decided to go for one. Totally different riding style.

It's proof that following those "I wonder if..." thoughts isn't always wise.

Fitted a 26 x 2.6 nokian gazalodi DH tyre to one of those 65mm wide rims I have. Impressive, its got almost as wide a footprint as a proper fat tyre, runs super low psi but still is only around 26" diameter. Old school floatation tyre mtb in the offing me thinks.
