Me.

Thank you to everyone for the replies. After much faffing, I have went for a pair of WTB i45 tough rims.

They are not a bad saddle and I have one on my SS, however they are nowhere near as comfortable as the B17's I have on all my other bikes.

So, I have managed to crack the rear wheel on my Surly ECR, therefore I am looking for suggestions for bombproof replacement 29+ wheels. The Hope fortus 35mm has caught my eye, however are there any other strong 35mm - 50mm wheels worth considering?

Yes, I would also consider rolling chassis.

Looking for a large / XL fat bike or plus bike for a new project.

I have had a B17 on my fatbike for the last 8 years without any issues and another fitted to my Fargo. That said, I have recently fitted an Ergon SMC4 to my S/S 29+ bike for the winter as it is one less thing to maintain when it is properly grim outside.

2018 Large Trek Full Stache 8 Fantastic bike but an ongoing back conditions means I am not getting on with the low front end. Few minor paint chips but otherwise in excellent condition. £1700 PM me if interested for more info photos. Full spec here: https://www.rutlandcycling.com/bikes/mountain-bike...

Hi I will take the brake pads - email sent.

Hi,

I am looking for a stem 60 - 80 mm and a set of high riser bars (40mm + rise and at least 680mm wide) if anyone has any laying in the spares box.

Thanks

I have a large 9zero7 slider frame and 29+ wheelset which I could be tempted to part with if it was of any use to you.

PM'd you

long term B17 user here.Tried using Cambium for a while bit I found them rock hard and very uncomfortable which was a disappointment.

Early start in Rothiemurchus this morning

Did you know that they are in stock at alpkit at the moment? I'm just away to buy one myself.

I now have Ton's Fargo ^^^ which has been fitted with a set of Fu Manchu bars. I previously had another Fargo but I didn't get on with the drops, however I really like this one now that it has been fitted with swept bars and I find it to be very comfortable as a result. https://farm5.staticflickr.co...

Mine is 80mm wide and has a removable horizontal divider to keep things in check, but I normally remove it. It only really bulges if it is packed out with the likes of clothing etc.

Cheers for that.

Any suggestions for where to take the fatbike around Aviemore tomorrow?
