Bicycles

I used to run tubeless Minions on my DH bike, the lower pressure allowed me to find a bit if extra grip even during muddy, claggy British winter conditions, although I'd switch to spikes (Swampthings/WetScreams), when it got really bad

Also tried out the 'ghetto tubeless' (google it) method on the regular rims on my HT, worked pretty well once I'd got the tyre on and enough air in to create a seal.

Nice Mukluk Blackheart! It sure is a beast of a bike, I've test ridden a few fatbikes myself - even though I'm not a die hard fan I can't deny they're loads of fun… The Surly Krampus might change my view when they start popping up.

I've now ridden four rides tubeless and I'm definitely a convert. The increase in grip and resistance to snakebites is what does it for me. Changing to Ardents tonight since the Ignitors sidewall on the rear is in very bad shape (was quite worn before switching to tubeless).

The Stan's conversion has been flawless after the first failure (which was entirely to blame on too low pressure).

When I first laid eyes on that bike I just stared at it for about 10 minutes thinking Jesus H. Christ on a raft!
What the hell was I thinking???! But then I rode it…Off road it floats over everything in it's path and climbs
hills like a goat, on pavement/asphalt it growls like 4 wheel drive. And to quote DS, it makes my 20" BMX bike
look like a key chain.

Wait until you see his...

That's great!

I love that!!!

Fatbikes are cool.

Time for a new weelset.

But I´m not sure about the rims. Notubes Flow or Arch EX.

[unharmed]

I have a 29er set built up on flows - they're pretty good.

very cool DS

Pic from yesterdays trail ride just before it got so dark I had to switch the light on (and that's around four o'clock at this time of year )

[Blackheart]

Cool pic Jii, we'll be getting darker earlier here this weekend when daylight savings time ends.

[Jii]

Haha, I guess we're about a month away from having four hours of daylight per day I guess our ancestors did the decision of settling here in summertime - that or they we're feeling suicidal. Probably both.

[Blackheart]

That means we'll have to ride earlier or get a bunch of lights to prolong the fun!

About 30 years ago I had this frame hand made for me by Mercian.  It was built specifically for a long tour I was planning, so has pretty lazy angles etc.  My life moved on and I never built the bike up.  The frame has moved from house to house with me ever since.  We have a customer/friend staying with us from Switzerland at the moment and he is a classic bike nut.  We have done a deal, he will source as much original (to the era) stuff as poss and I will pay him with clothes.  I have phoned Mercian to try and get the exact specs of the frame out of them, as I have long forgotten….I am very very excited......
