Last week I biked to the top of my local mountain, Umunhum. Long story short, my usual MTB was pushed to its absolute limit. Super steep climbs, super jagged loose rocky ground, no traction. I decided to try building a fat bike for extra traction into a pretty unconventional trail climber!
Today was a test ride, as expected the gearing is way too high and the stock tires are really not meant for the terrain I was riding. Other than that, the bike performed quite admirably, and I can’t wait to start building it!
