Here's the Fargo in action. post yours when you get it here...
Thanks for the reply Ted. Guess I need to visit a local Bontrager dealer for some mud X tires.Guitar Ted said:The Ardent 2.4"ers are huge. I wouldn't think they would even fit at all without fenders on wider rims, say Semis, and gordos for sure. My Gordo/Ardent 2.4"ers were 62+ millimeters wide, so you can figure not having the Cascadias cover the Ardent very well, if at all.
The Mud X would be where I would go here. The tires will easily fit under the fenders, and they slay mud.
Bronsons wouldn't work that well. To close in the knob placement and they are flimsy knobs on the edges of the tires too.
It does. I have it half built right now. Want to finish so I can ride it this weekend.Fargal said:Colinmonty, can't wait to see the complete build. It must feel like Christmas for you. :thumbsup:
I liked the red lettering of the old Fargo. I am glad that they still provide the fgg. I like it a lot better than the cream. I also like the suspension correctedfork. Makes the steer tube shorter. My old xxl steer tube is so long that it looks weird. I will post pics when I am done.sfuller said:colinmonty - Glad to see the 2011 FGG frames are shipping. I have one on order too. I do have to say I like the old downtube graphics with the red lettering a little better. Guess I'll have to get used to it. Excited to see your finished build.
Sounds like a lot of my thoughts too. I wouldn't have gone to the 2011 had they not run this batch of FGG frames. Suspension correction was one thing for me, and the slightly shorter top tube as well. I also wanted a fork built to work with the anything cages.colinmonty said:I liked the red lettering of the old Fargo. I am glad that they still provide the fgg.

One reason I made the change was that the XXL was just a little to large. As everyone has said before, it is really difficult to pick out the correct size. I had the last 2010 XL ordered, but someone bought it from under me. Hopefully this XL will fit.sfuller said:Sounds like a lot of my thoughts too.

Steering feels quicker and it is still a very comfortable bike. Went from a med to a large and happy I did. Have yet to take it out fully loaded so can't comment on that aspect yet. Hopefully next weekend if the weather cooperates.seat_boy said:How does it compare to the gen 1?
Hey Doug, couldn't make out which Schwalbe tyres you are running..Doug_ID said:Ok a few of my new Gen II Fargo :thumbsup:
Marathon XR 50's (2.0?) Sad to say I think I got the last pair they had in the warehouse. Seems like they are moving away from the wider sizes. I love these tires.....good traction, extreme puncture resistance, and they last almost forever.bdstorer said:Hey Doug, couldn't make out which Schwalbe tyres you are running..
