Re: 29+ suspension forks with clearance for 3.0” tyres
Did you note where I said mount the mudguard over (instead of under) the bridge.

Re: 29+ suspension forks with clearance for 3.0” tyres
Had similar issue with DHF 4.8 in Bluto, so modified my mudhugger to fit over the bridge - 2 small cut outs. Not especially pretty but works fine! The side lugs still cable tie to the fork legs fine.
(You still won't get a DHF 29x3 in a Bluto though, not enough clearance even without a mudguard)

Is Vapour same fit as Enduro? I have vapour already, love it although a fold away hood would be nice, I can't ignore an Enduro at £15 though!ScotRoutes wrote: ↑Thu Jan 06, 2022 12:36 pm Polaris Vapour jacket and some long Fixies
Jacket fit is as expected; roomy enough for a layer beneath. I look forward to a test ride.

Re: If you were to buy a E bike ??
You know how great fat bikes are Tony... Having ridden (hired) both E-FS and E-fat, I'd take the latter. They are very fun with a bit of assistance.

Re: Full suss vs rigid 29plus
Hmm, road background and arse pounding, 30psi etc ... You are descending out the saddle aren't you?
Dropper? That plus proper pressures should do wonders.
FWIW I'd go rigid single speed; forces me off to walk regularly which helps over such a long ride too.

Re: Fat bike mudguard
Another here, great combo.
Can just squeeze a 4.4 JJ or 4.8 Minion on a Bluto under the front one (inc mud clearance but need to cut the front lip off with a woodsaw!). 4.8JJ would be too tall though I think.

Re: wtd, Fat bike mudhuggers.
FatHugger is the front one and yeah a 29er rear fits nicely, I didn't need heat. If you go the rack route it also fits with a (modified - widened) Thule Tour rack on the seat stays as well, great combination.

Re: OOF tyre clearance
Mate has Fatty Trail with a 4" in there atm and will have a look at clearance tonight. I can defo recommend the 4.4's over the 4.0 if you have a nice wide rim. More grip not much more rolling res, and fatter is alright right eh!

Re: Why Did I Sell My Stooge Bars Again? WTD
Got a once used Ritchey Kyote to offload Allen. Again, wide, sweepy, riser. Like an OG but wider.
I'm settled on the OG for fatpacking (v. comfy) and the Moto for trail riding (wide for control). I thought the Kyote might do both but it didn't work for me.

Re: Why Did I Sell My Stooge Bars Again? WTD
I feel guilty now Allen
If I hadn't fitted them yesterday (yes, above your old Bluto) then I would have sold them back. Possibly.
FWIW These replaced a previous set I had and sold when I shouldn't have.

I switch between a Rab Vital, excellent light wind shirt, and the slightly heavier/thicker Borealis depending conditions. Both breathable and showerproof and neither were expensive.
