I think they aim for massmarkets, and these tires doesn't fit the bill. Wider q factor is a must and it's not for everyone so no reason to design too wide frame.. Even the Blackborow seems to be little too narrow. In my country Farleys can't fit these.Right now there aren't a lot of options for a lowered priced bike that fits the 2XL.
-35 it doesn't matter if it's Fahrenheit or Celsius.Is that in Fahrenheit or Celsius? Either way that's really f-ing cold! I'm on the coast of AK so I never get that kind of cold thank goodness.
I never wear a helmet on my fatbike. The riding is generally so slow and dealing with the cold, wind and changing conditions is much easier without fighting with what fits under a helmet. I just wear a thin, fleece toque that's easy to take off and put back on one handed so I can do it while riding. If it's really windy and cold I'll wear a face mask but that's really rare. I just use the same balaclavas I use under my helmets when snowmachining. I recently got a Carhartt combination stocking hat with a built in balaclava you can pull down. I've not yet used it but think it will be handy when it's really cold and windy. I just keep it on the bike all the time. Goggles would also be my choice but I've never ridden my bike in conditions where I need them.
For sure. But comparing the footprint of an 80mm to a 100mm rim with the 2XL's at 1-2 psi the contact patch is pretty much the same.Tubeless ready wheels are like bead locks,mother don't like to break down no matter what the pressure.
And the pattern is not to the same, it's wider on the wider rim.
Dang, I'm a bit surprised by the how close the tire is to the chainstay. I'd have no problem running it, just would have thought it'd have a bit more clearance. I'd love to tryout one of those bikes to see how their unique geometry handles and feels.Pole Taiga Snow, Clown Shoes, tubeless and 11Psi test pressure.
