There's no way you that Big Fat Larry is gonna fit in a 9zero7 fork.

Actually it does...have seen it in person and ridden it

[mttklmhifi1]

Looks sweet and the weight is excellent for a stock bike!

[gregclimbs]

Many miles in utah to float and ride...

Post up BFL in the 9zero7 fork. What width rim we talking?

Another Full Suspension Phatty

I was debating on the pedals that I wanted to put on my Muk2. Finally decided to try the Wellgo WPD-996 pedals. Clipless on one side, platform on the other. The color even matches. Haven't used them much, so the jury is still out on how they will perform. Only cost me $50.00 too.

I got these for my new fat front Mariachi to match it. I'm going with an all green, black, orange with it.

I don't really see myself using any other clip ins that aren't crank brothers

I just got my Pugs last week I made a lot of modifications, but the best was the Shimano Alfine SG-S501 8-Speed Internal Hub. A complete list of the modifications can be seen at:

I built this up for my kid for Christmas. He got it early because he won't be home from Norway for long. I tried to chase him around the snowy flowy singletrack yesterday. That was very fun even though I couldn't keep up!
As it sits the bike is right at 30#. It will gain a bit when I get the 80 mm wheels built up.
He didn't seem to be at a disadvantage riding on hard pack with the 44mm rims versus my 80's. It is a more stable ride than my old FatBack. I'm looking forward to doing some real comparison rides.

1. OMM Cold Springs Racks F&R.
Worked with John at OMM getting the mounting down for Pugs' non-canti boss fork.
I had to do some noodling for the mounting, but made no modifications to the rack itself i.e. cutting (yikes).
They look great, and the integrity speaks volumes.
Now, just need some Arkel panniers for the rear. . .

2. Paul Thumbies with D/A 9 speed levers.
Got these for simplicity, elegance and most importantly RELIABILITY.
Love the friction backup just in case.

Sweet, I love my Paul Thumbies. I would recommend taking the barrel adjusters out. Those things have a tendency to loosen up and they aren't necessary with the set up.

Toni Lund, what kinda studs are those? I managed to get 1,000 Tikka studs for $114 (plus an extra $50 international transfer charge from my bank).

Tonight i picked up a Hope mono m4 and a Hope mono 6ti.
I couldn't resist grabbing the set for under 300$.

^^Spovegas, if you have not tried out that Smartgauge yet, do so soon. Mine arrived before the fatbike and I found out too late that it was a dud (powered up but wouldn't read pressures). Topeak is warrantying it, but it's backordered until end of January.

I've used mine numerous times and it seems to be working fine. Bummer that yours is a lemon. Hope they get it replaced for you soon.

I have 2 of the same guage. I have not tried to use them on my fat bike with the low pressure, but know they work with my other 2 bikes.

You're right these are sweet.

Needed (wanted) the in-line barrel adjuster for the right lever since the newer XT rear derailleurs have no barrel adjusters on them.
Honestly, I don't know why Shimano eliminated it.

Probably don't need it for the front as they have a tendency to be less problematic, but I'll keep it just for symmetry.

I considered mounting my old bulletproof Suntour XC Pro thumbies circa 1990, with my old XTR 950 RD and XTR 8sp cassette, and I still may.

We'll see how it goes.


Peace

Barrel adjusters on the rear derailluer are unnecessary and fragile. If you have a barrel adjuster on the shifter, that will be more than enough to adjust out any cable stretch that occurs between adjustments.

few bits for my upcoming moonlander......
