A local shop was discounting the 2024 model by 50% to clear old stock so now I own a fat bike.
We’re not gonna see snow for a while so I got a 29×3 summer wheelset from Bikesdirect. A couple of small tweaks (180mm front rotors, new grips) and threw some Wah Wah pedals on it and it’s a lot of fun to ride.
When I have the time I’ll stud the 26×4.6 Dillinger 5s it came with and get them ready for the winter trails.
It’s my first Salsa bike and I quite like it with the exception of the fragile paint job (came with a bunch of chips and scratches, I can see why) and the lack of built-in rack attachment points. I don’t think I’d have paid anywhere full price, and maybe used I could have gotten a higher spec model but overall I’m pretty happy.
