It did seem very hit and miss - some people either never got a response or it took several weeks. I think my request took a couple of days before being accepted.

I might be interested if they make fatbikes with Rohloff gears. I am sure I have seen one. I love Rohloff. Rohloff is brill. I AM NOT a fettler.

As a new convert to the ways of the fat, with my lovely 'Dale fat Caad 1 with lefty, I'd be interested in a FB forum.

I feel that I ought to say, you're quite welcome to talk about any type of bike here, even fat bikes. My dislike is personal and shouldn't hinder conversation and debate :wink:

Thanks would have thank you earlier but as usual everything from this site goes to spam. Will look at the suggestions.

Would be good, i organised a few East Anglia fat bike meets and it was difficult with the forum down.

I think like most, i would of ended up with a pile of different parts all of the wrong standards if it hadn't been for fat bike forum. was a source of good info (like here) as a forum should be.

Scott Sidener just finished 3rd on the CTR riding a fat SS bike. Not much asphalt on the route to suffer the fat-drag, and lots of rocky surfaces to float over...!

Fair bit to discuss with the new Salsa fat bike line up too I'd imagine.
