Oops! Almost forgot.
Spent the morning, yesterday, swapping out the heavy lugged trail tires on the Pugsley for the much more road friendly Specialized Fast Fats. Those Specialized fat bike tires are a great fast rolling fat bike tire. Makes riding the Pugs out on the road much more practical. Also reminded me how much fun it is NOT to do the swap the tires thing. Now have enough fat bikes in the collection to pick a different bike when I need a more aggressive tire, so I'm going to leave these tires on the Pugs, permanently. They're also a very good trail tire, anyway.
Seems like I pay a lot of attention to tire designs and setups. I do. On trail bikes, the bigger the tires, the more you tend to notice differences in tire design, psi, and so on. Fat bikes really bring out these differences. Pretty amazing how even a tiny change in tire pressure makes for a whole different ride.
Met a gal at the bike shop, last week, who was getting ready to ride her fat bike in a fat bike race up in the nearby U.P. of Michigan. We both thought it was great that other gals in the area were fattie fans.![]()
