does anyone know where to get 120tpi Nates (or another ~4" tire that is good in snow) for less than $150?

got out tonight from 1030-1130. dumping with about 4-5 inches down when I got home. singletrack had a good 3-4" with no issues on the 4.0 vee rubber v8's. lil slip slide here/there, but really good riding. 18 degrees and puking sideways
even the coupla miles each way on the roads to the trails were fun and mostly untracked pow.

I've had one of the original purple Pugsleys since 2006. I don't use it a whole lot in the dirt but really love it in winter. When the skiing goes bad, as it inevitably does in the East, the fat biking gets good. I sprung for studded Dillingers this winter, as the Endomorphs are pretty slippery in most snow conditions. Damn tires cost more than my first MTB, a 1986 Schwinn Sierra... but I digress. I'm sure there are certain conditions that would warrant 4.8" tires but I'm not a big guy and a majority of the time my set-up is excellent.
Rog, psyched to read that you went fat. Let's do some slogging this winter.

I didn't think it was suppose to hurt when you fall off in the snow. I found out different this morning.
Icy off camber, went down hard. Might need the studs.

Picking up my Krampus tomorrow! So stoked! I know it's not a full fatty but I'm never on my bike when the snow is fresh. Pics to come!

not the rockpile. across the road. from Jackson, back to Jackson. I have the same number. masshole for life, YO.. will be in touch.
fun fatbike sno ride this am at Stratham alps. but WHERE ARE ALL THE FUCKING 300 LOCAL FATBIKE RIDERS THAT PUT CYCLING IN FRONT OF THIER BETTER HALVES AND KIDS?!!!!!!!!!!!!!NO ONES OUT RIDING THAT I COULD TELL!!! so much fucking snow here. too much, thigh deep in places so it seemed. many trails were plenty packed tho from various forms of traveler. new bike rode great fer sure. will run a bit lower pressure next time.
so far my fave condition on the fatty are, a few inches of freshly fallen snow over hard frozen ground. second would be regular dirt/summer type singletrack riding. and 3rd, packed snow trails. ok, but doesn't blow my hair back. pow or dirt FTW!
anyone wanna buy a lightly used 2013 kona unit 19"? 500.00. only rode it from late july-november this year

Slush is the most difficult surface to ride.
Today we had freezing rain over a 4" snow pack.
I had to ride out of the clips because I was gunshy from falling yesterday.

Got one for Christmas (Norco Bigfoot). It's hilarious. I love it. So stupid simple and fun. I have actually ridden it on snow, but it also does quite well on the sand/salt flats.
I'm so hardcore, I'm gnarcore.

01-08-2014, 09:27 PM #175It makes perfect sense...until you think about it.
I suspect there's logic behind the madness, but I'm too dumb to see it.
