Roboleg, gorgeous snow and #enduro colourwayz notwithstanding, you've got to have balls to use that song in a bike video and not include at least one backflip

Ah - that's Glenn. I remember when he turned up for a fatbike meeting in the Lakes. We were all agog at the Sandman Ti fatbike on the back of his car until he stepped out.... His "good" leg is an absolute work of art, and uses an RP23 knee 😀

The knobs are seriously big

What rim is that on bonesetter?

Pretty sure they're 90's (OE fit Fat Boy)

Haven't seen a Nate, but are bigger than the Ground Control that came off

By all accounts GC's come up bigger than Nates, so Bud must be a fair bit bigger than Nate

The Canyon looks ace but the cranks are truly awful. Or more specifically, the bottom brackets are. Tiny bearings that even when new meant that there was sufficient movement in the crank arms to touch the chain stay. E13 - nice to look at but the execution is awful............ 🙁

Got a call from the LBS saying they could get me a Fatboy in size large. Thought about it for 5 minutes and picked it up two days later. Only been out for one short ride so far but it was gun inducing!

I think that's like turning up at an MG meeting in a MG Metro/Montego etc..

The beards will scorn you.

chainslap.
I bet you'll not get that clogged up with mud.
You must have enough tyre clearance to get your arm down the side of the tyre.

Yes ive seen that, a distinct lack of sense of humour I believe. Singlespeedstu is brilliant at taking the mick, but some people dont know how to take him... 😀

Who knew there were so many insecure cyclists?

Yup, some bloke walking his dog managed to pass through my front forks without knocking me off track... 😯
