Since we've had a shitty winter without much snow I threw a set of Schwalbe ice spicers on the stocker wheelset with Cushcore in the rear. On the hard packed cold days the bike really rips, not so great off the trail but amazing on.
Also sent the e-storia in for its second rebuild and they...
Thanks!
I kind of wish I had just used 3m tape on the seatstays but the AMS stuff is doing its job. The Amygos chainstay protector on the non drive side is freaking outstanding though.

They're okay I guess...
Ripped the Bullit with the 2.6 spikers today and holy shit was it ever good!! Fat tires still have more flotation off trail but these things just killed it on the hard pack.

Since our winter has been kinda lame I threw some 2.6 ice spicers onto a shit wheelset. Cushcore in the rear which was fun lol. Pumped to go for a rip tomorrow!

22 bullit came with 165s, I swapped them to 160s then to 155s. I'd love tontry 150s...
The gain in ground clearance, in my case (very rocky terrain), far outweighs any leverage advantages longer cranks have. That and you're riding an ebike so...

Clean external routing has been done so imop there's no need for the extra complexity of internal routing especially on ebikes. I have to drop the motor to change rear brakes or dropper housings on 2 of my ebikes and its just a phenomenally stupid thing to have to do for routine maintenance. I...
Temps went back into the negatives so whats left of the snow was nicely crustified. Great rip yesterday!

It was a crisp -10 yesterday without the wind chill. Main trails are packed pretty good after 2 good snowfalls but there's still rocks under there lol...

Been lucky enough not to get too much snow this winter but we just got hit with 2 good storms in one week so.... back to boring fat biking it is. Heres a few kinda winter vids, still on the bullit up till last week which is a new record for me...
Eating shit with friends the other night.
We hit our usual trail but my buddy got a flat near the beginning. When we stopped to check it out we realized we were being stalked by a pack of coyotes, they started yipping like crazy and sounded really close to us. Wouldn't usually have been too...
It was -5 today and we finally got a light dusting of snow. The rocks were nice and slippery lol.

Yup, hand guards. I've had bad luck with trees and bushes trying to rip my fingers off as of late. They look terrible but they work as advertised.
Hahahahha, you should have seen the moose poo on one of our best trails this spring! There was a pile every 10 feet! The moose use the trail to...
It is what it is. Trying to ride the summer trails with a few feet of snow on them is hilarious, not nearly as fun as summer but what are you gonna do.

I live in northern Ontario Canada and ride in up to -25 during the winter. Out of all the high tech fabrics I've tried I always fall back on good old fleece with a wind proof layer over it. It wicks the moisture away from your body and is warm even if it does get wet. Depending on temps I either...
