Fat bike equals fun, fun, fun

Couldn't have said it better about the confidence thing. I love MTBs and always have, but I am way too conservative to keep up with good mountain bikers, though I have tried and have even taken have lessons. An adrenaline junkie I am not; very much the play it safe type. I find that the fat bike is something of an equalizer for me, though. It's not magic and it won't turn me into a highly skilled rider, but it does at least get me into the game a bit more, meaning I am a lot less stressed out when doing trails that made me a nervous wreck with my 26" hardtail.

Just remember that Ice is still Ice and falling on ice isn't much fun

Tire Pressure - We carry one of these meiser tire gauges making it easy to measure tire pressure. We are often adding and removing air on one ride to adjust to terrain.

For sure. Been there, done that on pavement enough. The good news is that our lakes are always covered with snow, so that traction won't be too much of a problem. Never see bare ice. In fact, lake riding should be even better because the wind keeps the snow level on the lake lower than back in the woods. Can't wait to give it a try.

Yes, a special low pressure gauge was something I bought right away. The gauge on the pump just doesn't cut it when the recommended tire pressure is only between 5 and 15 psi and even 2 psi makes a difference with these tires as far as how they perform. In the snow and mud, I usually stay under 10psi, usually between 5 and 8psi. On hard pack and gravel, I like over 10 psi. My gauge is an Accu-gauge that reads 0-30 psi.
