Lehigh Trails on a fat bike!

Took my Rocky Mountain Blizzard to the trails in Tehachapi. Some of those climbs can be brutal but the downs are worth it. Rode the T-Town Flow trail which was still pretty new. Some of the berms were a little loose but all in all, I had a blast. Music: Annalise by Derek Clegg

I just got new tires in and thought this would be a good time to compare them to my current tire setup. Test one: Maxxis Crossmark 29x2.1 Test two: WTB Nano 700x40c Test three: Maxxis Re-fuse 700x40c Can you set up tires tubeless with only a pump? Music: Stranger Things via CZcams Audio Library
Riding MTB trails on a gravel bike
zhlédnutí 431Před 4 lety
I have several tire and wheel setups for my gravel bike which allow me to ride almost anything. Maxxis Crossmark 2.1 are my tires of choice for MTB trails and they live on my Mavic Cross Max 29er wheels. This is the widest my frame will allow but it is more than enough for a good time.

If You got fat you never go back, Fat all the way baby😍😁
This bike is awesome and it’s truly a great ride
Just curious... Why does your fatbike have suspension?
I bought my fat bike for winter but I enjoy riding it in the summer. I live near the Rocky Mountains and when I ride in the mountains I use my EMB.
10psi? Isnt that basically flat? I run mine 30
I run mine tubeless which allows you to run lower pressures with less risk of flatting. Volume also allows for lower tire pressures. Most MTBers are running in the 20s for normal tire sizes (2.35-2.8”). That being said you could most likely run lower pressure if you wanted. I now run 6-8 psi and I am far from running flat tires.
Pavement+Snow=commutes 4.0" or 2.5" thoughts
This is where Fred Flintstone would ride his fatbike. Even though it would have stone wheels.
What is your opinion of the KHS 4 seasons 1000?
Central Florida: no snow, sugar sand, mud, and deep grass…My Argus goes Everywhere and I like cruising the streets with rough transitions, curbs, etc. I’m 6’1”, 270…gotta go BIG!
Haha, its funny seeing people realising a Fatbike is a great mountain bike all year round, us UK fatbike riders love Fatbike in the summer, czcams.com/video/oehBdQL2ACM/video.html
There is no fat bikes for me to test ride around here, I'm kinda worried that the mono front chain ring, usually 28 - 30 teeth would be too low of a gear ratio for riding on pavement, am I wrong? I read some reviews of mountain bikes with the mono chain ring and some of the negative reveiws said "I pedal like I stole it and I'm still going really slow".
Mono chain rings are more common these days than doubles and triples. This is true for gravel and MTB. If you are riding pavement most often and speed is what you are going for, I would defiantly ride a road bike. That would give you your double and less rolling resistance. Fat bikes are about comfort and traction more than they are about speed. That being said, you could simply put a larger chainring on the bike and/or smaller cassette to get your speed up. My range on this bike is 1x11 with a 26T chainring and a 11-46 cassette. I can hold 15-18 mph and will get into the 20s when descending. Just know these bikes are not meant for speed. You just have to decide what matters most to you
I bought my fat bike as a winter commute but used it this summer as a trail bike and I loved it. It was so much fun to have the cush and confidence that a fat bike gives you on the trails.
Re: Winter commute Pavement+snow, if so ... thoughts :\ Q. Tire size: can I get away with 2.5" vs 4.0"
@@sandycastles7105 the biggest thing rhat I have found with winter commuting is to be comfortable with the ice (studs are a good idea). The skinnier the tire the higher tire pressure so for deep snow you need the 4" so you can run 2 PSI. If it is light snow on pavement you are fine with a higher tire pressure and thus could be fine with a 2.5" tire.
you are 200 bls or more fat bike is way to go
I have a Mohen fat bike... and from the beginning I loved it And I plan to sell my Trek Marlin 4...the first reason. I don't need two bikes with my fat bike I have fun as if I had a normal one. And I don't regret buying the fat bike i love it
Just got a fatty myself and sold my enduro bike I have not regrets at all…. It’s put the fun back into riding again…. I do a channel myself and I’ve started uploading content again after many months, check it out
i dont regret my 450 canadian fatbike xD , i overpresure the tire and it get to 50km horu on flat its insane.. the grip tire isnt too big , in wood its very hard slow adn technical but i do it a bit. it roll rell on astphalt surprisingly. cant wait until the grip get more used its gonna be 60 wtf
Picking up one this Saturday. Can't wait for this winter, but I plan to use it year round on some local tree rooty trails
Just get one of each bike. That’s my solution.🤙
Fat-Bikes rule!
Due to the increased rolling resistance you really have to pedal harder. The fun and comfortability of a fat bike makes the extra exercise worth it.
Nothing wrong with extra exercise! I agree
I rode the High Bridge Trail in Virginia yesterday on my Polaris fat tire bike. I also had my single wheel trailer hook up to my bike. This is a crushed and messed down gravel trail with minimum grades. Everyone on this Trail passed me with their bikes but I am use to this with my Fat tire bike. If I wanted to ride faster, I would have brought another bike. I like fatbiking and I also like the extra physical fitness that I get from fatbiking. Fatbiking is awesome!
I ride fat bikes all year long, I went from trail bike to fat bikes 5 years go, I'm not goiung back, for me fat is the only way!!!!!!💯
Where did you buy the fender you screwed onto the frame? I am trying to look for a fender but can't find the right one for my bike.
The fender is a big buck fender. It doesn’t screw in, it’s zip tied.
Great meeting you today. Enjoy Sea Otter!
Good to meet you too man!
Sandpaper silences noisy disc brakes
Yes usually but when they are contaminated that doesn’t always solve the problem.
I have several bikes including a Fat Tire Bike with 4.8 in. Tires - it weighs 24 lbs. No suspension, ridged fat bike is a Blast on any trail. I have a FS Trail bike, and a Hardtail, but I love my Fat Bike.
Looks interesting (and fun). Will have to try one out this summer. Thanks for the great video!
My fat bike has a 1000W Bafang on it, I'm good.
Love biking that place! Favorite is to do "the Luge" soft-sand downhill back to where I usually park by the gate.
Yeah that’s a very fun and wild ride!
Rode my rigid Farley exclusively for MTBing for 2 seasons. If nothing else, it improved my riding skills and confidence a lot.
Hi, mental illness, I have 6 bikes but my fatbike gets lots of miles, in the winter with 1/2 in screws inside out for traction on ice and another set of tires for the rest of the year. They’re tons (pun intended) of fun!!
Fat bike year round. Goes everywhere and it's fun.
man you're super underrated..hope you gain more subs in the future... happy and safe biking bro
Thanks! Happy to have subscribers but it’s more of a creative outlet for me 😁
I love fat bikes! Nice ride and video. Here in Florida we only get to ride trails built by men, or the Wonderful gravel roads of the everglades! Keep up with those videos.
I have researched on internet..i will find that tyres life will long last upto 2500kms or maybe 3000kms maximum...so please let me know...what is the actual life of fatbike tyres... because i generally do 15-18kms on a cycle per day...if 2500kms are correct then i will have to change my tyres with in 3-4 months... please confirm me upon this
I have 1300 miles 2100 km on these tires: minions FB. Still plenty of life left but it depends on the surface you are riding. These tires will last longer off road.
@@goodvibebiker4776 czcams.com/video/qspeLYWvBS0/video.html Check out my fatbike delivery video.....
🔝💯🙏👏👏👏👏👏🥰❤💞
Beautiful 💥 Place..
I just got one of those heavy Chinese fat folding bikes with tyres max psi of 20.It feels like they are too squishy and bottom out every few meters-can't be good for the tubes? Should'nt I be running a better quality tyres with a higher psi?
Hey Keith, so I run mine tubeless which allows me to get to 6-8 psi. I’m not familiar with your bike but I know fat tired bikes can be 26” down to 20” rims which could have an effect on your tire pressure needed. Either way, if you are running tubes, I would keep the pressure closer to that 20 psi which is what regular MTB bikes run usually. Are you bottoming out when pedaling or like curb hooping?
¡¡¡Terreno FATBIKE total!!!
Had to used a translator but I agree!
@@goodvibebiker4776 land just for fatbike! 💪
Looks like an amazing place! Hope I can get out there one day!!
Such an amazing view! Never seen anything like that, total opposite here in Alaska! So beautiful there
Thanks Heather! Yes it is very different from your back yard. As a nomad, I winter in the desert. Few trees and rocks galore!
Love my fatbike , people tho keep saying .... Look at the size of them tyres
😂 we’ve all been there haha
jealous of your drone shots!!!! those are nice. me, I got a mavic mini, and being in the forest, I can barely even use the quick shots except the rocket. glad i found your channel
It is a lot easier in the desert for sure. That’s the same drone I use but would love to upgrade one day to one that has a follow feature and object avoidance.
My reintroduction to mtn biking was also to replace skiing, so I went with a fat bike. It cost about the same as a season pass and gas for a season driving 60 miles round trip to the ski resort... anyway, I am so glad I did because it was an absoute shit season, then it all closed in march 2020 when the snow finally came. Instead of pulling my hair out all winter, I was riding all winter onthe beach, in the snow, at hte lake, with my dog mostly. so my first and currently only bike is still a fat bike. when i get my next bike, it will be a full sus fat bike! IM HOOKED! honestly I dont see how these didnt take off more than just a trend for 5 years or so. I like to say, a fat bike can do anything a mtn bike can do, but a mtn bike cannot do everything a fat bike can do.
Well said. Speed is its only downside and many might argue that speed isn’t synonymous with cycling. Glad to hear you have found a love for riding!
Rolling resistance certainly restricts your distance travelled per watt expended.
Here in the Midwest fat bikes seem to have gained traction faster than other areas due to the winters and groomed trails, but starting to see more and more people riding them in summer here too. Last time I went to Colorado I kept thinking about how I would have rather had my fat bike than the high-end rented full suspension
Agreeed. I bought it as a winter commuter in Vermont and have found it to be very versatile!
"gained traction" I see what you did there.
Wait did you say my KUYA have a drone?
Luckily I have a drone
Now I hear it clearly
Interesting comparison. I came to have a fatbike after riding a skinny tired singlespeed, rigid MTB. Started rigid on the fatbike, then installed a suspension fork after torturing myself on rough trails where the fat tire cushion was not enough. I'm so pleased, and there's no trail I can't ride. I don't miss the stiff ride, sketchy traction of the rigid MTB, even though it rolled easier on very tame trails and roads...
Well said. I still enjoy putting on my 2.1s on my gravel bike and hitting the trails but it’s more comfy on the fatty for sure.
I have both a gravel and a fat bike, the trail I ride is very similar to yours so the fattie is my hardtail with 80mm of travel in a bluto its great.
I'm in Phoenix and love to ride my specialized fatboy. I've learned slime in tube helps prevent flats. Havent had one yet since I put it in.
If you haven’t, you should give Skyline near buckeye. I rode up there a few times with my fattie. Sliming tubes is a good combo. I’m set up tubeless.
Dude where is your ear?
On the side of my head like most people…?
I loved the video, great adventure, but I have to say as someone who lives around trees... That place looks desolate lol
Thanks man. That’s the desert for you. Beautiful in its own way but I get what you mean about trees.
What bike is that?
It’s a Rocky Mountain Blizzard
