Are you fat? Do you like it? What would you do different next time?

What’s the actual weight of the moon lander?

[Dumbest Known Time]

Psyched to see Surly making weird ass bikes again.

[sb]

Got a new Moonlander in the shop today.
I’m strangely intrigued by this abomination.

24 x 6.2 vs 29 x 2.4

Nice.

Haven’t weighed it yet, but pulling out of the box, it felt surprisingly light. I’ll weigh it when I finish it this morning.

Fat bikes are the nu light.

The gf loves riding her carbon mukluk as its crazy light.

Speaking of fat and light, anyone interested in a farley 9.8? 2017 Medium, almost all stock except a dt swiss hub for the rear as the bonty hub kept shredding.
Lmk and I can pm pics etc.

Since I got an eFAT,
my Farley has sat.


The Moonlander costs more
and the choice of rubber will be nil.

Nevermind, bikepacking.com weighed it. 46.6 lbs as I recall.

Nearly identical in weight as my 2013 Moonlander. Semi loaded frame bag doesn’t help with the weight.

Proud to announce my return to this thread. Ordered this way back in December and it finally came today.

Ari explorer peak, with the Manitou Mastodon, switched the tires to fbf and fbr, slapped on some ourys, and it's charging up for its maiden ride.

That looks really nice!!

I just got both my Farley and the eFAT ready for the season. Looks like it starts tomorrow!

[Shredhead]

Outstanding start to the season!
I ride the FATe most of the time. 4-5" of fresh over a packed base is perfect. Over 8" is pretty tuff.
Full face and full pads.



The Farley is mostly ridden on easier terrain with the old feller.

After a week of epic 70 F riding in SoCal, today was a nice contrast

[sb]

Full studs on the Dillingers for winter.

[Shredhead]

We suffer serious freeze thaw cycles, so I'm running studs full time.

Today was 6-7" new untracked fluff.

[XXX-er]

i weighed my Norco bigfoot and I seem to remember it was 37 lbs which is not so bad but all that tire sure made it slow

[Shredhead]

This was some of the deepest snow I've ridden.

Same. Wratchchildren for both of us. I I need more float, I’d have more fun on skis.

[rideit]

I generally run SPD’s, as the trails here are usually very well packed, and the snow light when it’s reasonably cold. However, if these weren’t $300, they look the bee’s knees as a Fat Bike flat pedal, imo.

[SJG]

They are $210 USD, $300 is Canadian dollars.

Also, FWIW, metal pedals and metal handlebar are massive heat sinks. A lot warmer with a $40 composite pedal, and $30 carbon handlebar. It's the little things.

[Shredhead]

I run composite flats. I switch between Sorel's and a high top bike shoe.


This is Sorel conditions. I fall a lot more in soft deep snow, so no SPD's for me.
