After 25 yrs of mtb I finally bought a cheap used Fatboy off of a coworker for my first fatbike this winter…. Avoid studs up to about a couple weeks ago not really needing them.
I’ve never fallen so damn hard so many times in the last couple of weeks. Ended up getting a pair of studded wrathchilds for 220 USD. Still waiting for them to come and probably will just suffer another week to avoid doing a sketchy tubeless setup.
Those types of conditions get tricky at night lol.

Where are you? This is exactly what it’s like here in New England. Been riding road the last week. Roads are completely dry but anything flat and shaded in the woods is a sheet of ice.
I can’t remember a winter where we ever built up such a crazy layer of ice before.
It’s been a good ski/snowboard season up in the mountains though.
