Awaiting final tensioning - it's too fat to fit my jig, so I have to make up some gauges before I finish it.
love it (thumbs up)
did this evenings TBC evening/nightride on the pugsley... was real comfy and kept up with regular bikes no probs 
Too fat to fit the lbs wheel jig too 🙁
Definitely going to have to make my own clearance gauges now.
Or you could just use two cable ties on what you've got.
That looks great for use in the UK 🙄
Yeah zip ties would work on that . Looking forward to the finished article. Are you going to have to adjust the forks or will that beast fit as is

I have another wheel (front) to build so it's worth going to the bother of having the gauges, otherwise I'd have used zipties or twisted bits of garden wire.
I don't have a frame to fit that wheel into yet, but I will remedy that shortly. Just don't expect it to be pretty. 🙂

Should be good , can't wait 😉
Dammit! Would you lot please stop talking about fatbikes? I'm trying to convince myself that there's no need, but you won't let them lie. Yes I know they're slow and pointless and I don't even live near a beach/swamp/glacier but you won't stop talking about them!
And then to throw a 3 speed sturmey into the mix.. Have you no shame???

Did I mention the belt drive? 🙂
You sick f*cker!
Then I'd better not talk about 2wd plans 🙂
(But that's next year)
Is that 2WD going to be based around your Oz purchase?
WTF is that all about then?
oddjob - MemberWTF is that all about then?
Seems to be a niche of bikes designed for riding on snow and/or sand like the Surley Pugsley

Yes.
Now [b]that[/b] will be a feat of engineering I would pay to see 😉
