Re: Fat bike curious. What would you recommend
Smart looking bike john. Cheers for the tips about the oo. I'm not knocking the On One Fatty, I had one for 12 months and it's perfect for technical trails and trail centres for rides up to 6 hours. I sold it because I wasn't using my trail bikes because I was always on the Fatty. Anything else go ...

Re: Fat bike curious. What would you recommend
From what I've experienced the cheaper trail fatties are great fun and the closest to being the mythical 'all rounder' that fatbikes have been touted as being but.....they aren't any where near as capable in the conditions that fatbikes were originally intended for (snow/sand). I'll second this quo...

Re: tools and spares storage?
When have Bike Packers worried about fashion?
I've got saddlebags on each and every bike, all loaded ready to ride out of the door, so I don't waste riding time faffing while looking for this and that.
Saddlebags rock

Snow bivi'ing photos
Please inspire me for a deep winter bivi which is something I've not done yet.
Please show me your bivi's, tarps or tents set up in snow.
This was as close as I've got to snow

Re: Todays ride
Halfway through my 2nd weeks holiday I took a Fat Bike spin down to the coast and a beach ride home.
It started in fog and soon the sun came out to burn off the morning dampness.

Re: Why rigid?
When bike packing you tend to spend a lot more time with your bike rather than a full susser at a train centre, because of this you tend to "live" with it and rest/stop more so I find there is more risk of scratching the stanchions with the stop starting, gate opening, Throwing bikes with ...
