Great fresh tracks today on moose mountain with the crew.

I'm looking to change the crank arms on my 2020 Salsa Beargrease XS from stock sram 170mm to Hope evo 155mm cranks. I took my bike to LBS but they did not have fat bike crank arm option shorter than 165mm. I am not mechanically inclined so my question is would the Hope Evo 155mm with 100mm BB shell width fit my Beargrease? Also wondering how 155mm crank arms would ride with my current chainring or if it should be changed. I am intending to just buy the crank set and have my LBS install it for me. Thanks

NBD of sorts. Cracked my Woo frame, Kona was on the ball with a replacement! I love them for that, because let me begin.

Bought my first Wo in 2015. $499 Boxing Day sale at the LBS. City was snowed in completely. I walked there and rode home! It got stolen from garage, ugh. Replaced with a Moose Fatbike. I tried so hard to love that bike, but it never did anything but fail.

In 2018, with me just accepting the Moose wasn't enough bike, I purchased my Second Wo. I rode regularly and all seasons. Great bike. It had a chain stay break, Kona replaced it quickly. Second Wo, loved it, rode it everywhere. That one broke the seat stay. Quick replacement.

The next one, was an oops on my part, I take 💯 responsibility for. It was on roof rack, and I drove into a wooden clearance sign. Ugh. Oh right, there's a bike up there. Obviously not a warranty claim. But Kona gave me the crash replacement discount, so I upgraded to the Woo! It's a burlier version with far thicker chain stays and a carbon fork. Wow, Woo is the right name for this bike.

Sadly after a few years, I had the bearings go out, and it wrecked the crank, took it on for service. They discovered the seat stay had a crack, I didn't realize. Kona replaced the frame really in record time even for them. The carbon fork was, of course not affected by BB shenanigans, so they weren't replacing it. I like the color mix, very distinctive.

A fellow coach, once said that my fat bike reminded him of Wile E Coyote 🐺. He would see the frame broken on Instagram and then 3 weeks later, it's a different colour, but there i am riding it. It's Been Green, brown, gold twice, the green of the fork and now this lighter green.

Every time, the parts and wheels get moved over, one frame to the next. I was thinking of what parts are original from the 2018 purchase. The brakes, Derailleur, Stem, seat and front wheel. Tires are old, rear won't hold air tubeless anymore 🤣. I bought the Tanwalls, because it looked sick with the gold frame it had at that point. This is the third crank. I've had the Brand X dropper since the beginning, but it wasn't OEM. So not a true bike of Theseus, in the sense that every part hasn't been replaced yet. It's certainly evolved from the original.

The ride? I love it. Great bike in every incarnation. Never felt underbiked in any fat bike situation. I rode it in many regular MTB races and rides, it's a great tool for coaching the kids. It's as big to me, as their bikes are to them and it isn't forgiving like a full suspension bike. It'll throw down, no doubt, but you will get beat up if you don't actually have the skills.

I live in Manitoba, Canada. In winter, snow permitting, there are at least a dozen places I know of, to ride on groomed snow trails. I spend the most time at Birds Hill Park. The loop there is around 6km. I do occasionally commute the 7km ride to work and back, but my gravel bike with studded tires is safer and faster.

Winter comes to South central Alaska in October. Great conditions and 15 degrees in a mountain pass at 2,000 feet.

Other than the old Trek Farley Ex 9.8, are there any full-suspension fat bikes out there?

Ideally, with more "modern" mtb-style geometry.

Now that the Farley 7 is on sale, which one do you guys think is the better choice? LBS has the Beargrease alloy on the floor available for a test ride. Not sure if I would need a fork on the fatty. I will ride the same trails that I normally ride on my Roscoe 9 and Top Fuel. At the moment I'm leaning more towards Beargrease, but I like the frame color on the Farley as well. I could get a Beargrease for a slightly lower price at the bike shop.

I'm located in Northeast Pa where most of our trails have rocks and roots.

Temps are dropping looking forward to a snowy season on this beautiful bike.

Moved to the coast and building up 26x4 ‘s from my 29x3’s; what’s the best practice nowadays for going tubeless? Gorilla tape or proper tubeless tape?

Night moves on the Butte. 26x4.0 with CST Megatane Tires down at 12 Psi. Hardpack, fast gravel and rooted climbs. Awesome ride

I just bought a Norco Bigfoot. I come from road cycling so I am not sure what you guys typically carry on you while riding? What is sort of the standard stuff a fatbiker has with them on a daily ride? Like how many levers and tubes do I need and what do you guys prefer in regards to PSI? I usually like to have a high PSI, but I’m a road cyclist.

I am actively looking for any good gear recommendations for a pump you can take with you and any good tunes and tyre’s.

I want to buy the best tubes and tyre’s.

Also, I was wondering what sort of lighting options I have for my bike, by let’s say.. kinetic energy? Is there a way I can get my pedal strokes to power my front light? I plan on riding a lot in the snow this winter and want the best lighting setup. My price range is like a couple to few hundred dollars.

Ohh!! I know I’m going to need some good fenders. Can someone also please kindly recommend me some good front and rear fenders for my bike?

I think that’s about it. I’m not sure if I forgot to ask anything. I live in the mountains and I plan on doing a lot of bikepacking.

As the title says, I'm just looking for Canadian options. I've googled it and half-ass browsed different shops, but wanted to see what you folk have used. Thanks!

I just think they're neat...but I really don't get snow and don't live around any sand.

I like the new State Fatbike and the price is reasonable as well.

First time posting, long time lurker. I’ve owned two fat bikes so far. I love riding them for all the right reasons. However, both my Pivot Les Fat and Farley cause right shoulder/neck pain. I’ve played with cockpit, bar height, etc and still get it. I run a mastadon 100mm up front and 4.5x27.5 tires. I don’t have the issue on my mountain bikes at all. I’m wondering if the tire width is the issue? I ride dirt mostly and find myself oversteering when I switch from my fat bike to my regular MTB. My mechanic thinks to maybe increase psi and slow the rebound. Has anyone else had this issue? Your experience is much appreciated!

TLDR: Traded my previous bike in for the Farley 7 and am having a blast with it!

Long time lurker…I have never ridden a fat bike before this bike, I bought it solely on how much everyone here seems to enjoy fatbiking. I see them at my local trailhead regularly so I figured I must be missing out. I can see why everyone loves it. I had a 2025 Specialized Chisel full suspension that I purchased when my previous 2016 Kona Process 111’s rear hub decided 3,000 miles of single track was enough and imploded on itself. The Chisel was great, but I never felt like it fit me as a rider. I was always afraid the rear triangle was going to give out underneath my 240lb body. I saw an ad from Trek randomly on Facebook back in June and there in all its beauty was a yellow Trek Farley 7. I instantly couldn’t stop thinking about it. My very first MTB that I bought with my own money was a yellow 2015 Giant Talon 3, I loved that bike and always missed it. Flash forward to last week, I decided to let go of the Chisel and trade it in towards the Farley. I found a shop 20 minutes away that was an authorized Trek dealer and they ordered it and I picked it up this past Friday. I have never had this much fun riding, the Farley is my only bike and it is an absolute blast to ride on my local handcut Midwest single track! I ordered some FattyStrippers to convert to tubeless and hopefully they will ship soon so I can set them up while the weather is holding onto summer here in Michigan. I can’t wait to try riding it on groomed trails in the snow!

I have this maxxis minions for 5 years now with no problems on tubeless.

I'm only asking this question since my wheel set currently being re laced and I think it's a good opportunity If i need my tires replaced.

Schwalbe produce ancora pneumatici 26x4,4?
