[Fat tyre kicker]

A rather dinky sleeping mat at 230g and 21x11cm approx.....
Makes up for my rather bulky sleeping bag

[psling]

21 x 11cm? Now, that is dinky

[ScotRoutes]

OK if you sleep standing up?

[Fat tyre kicker]

Obviously not.....3/4 mat,pack size would go smaller ,
Seems a good piece of kit,well happy.....I need as much help as I can

[voodoo_simon]

Which mat was it?

[Fat tyre kicker]

Pacific outdoor Uber lite sleeping pad,not made anymore but still some about
Ideal for me as I normally sleep with my legs off on an angle anyway,will fit homemade
Thermo groundsheet in the same size too for about 40 g(still experimenting)

Although John appears to be ploughing a lonely furrow with the Lauf stuff, all the pics I've seen with them fitted to a fat bike look OK. must be to do with comedic proportions of the tyres or something.

In any case, for fat bikes the Lauf fork makes a lot of sense where their natural environment* may cause issues with telescopic forks.

* opinions may vary on what/where this is

For me my "natural environment" is miles of sandy beaches (sometimes the tide can leave lots of tiny ruts that the Lauf will absorb) and sand dunes, but with off roading and canal tow paths in between.

Ref "all the pics I've seen with them fitted to a fat bike look OK"
I should be posting up a photo or 2 of the Lauf/Fat/Travers build about Wednesday, so be prepared for a Marmite love it or hate it bike.

After 2700ish miles my On One Gravel Road tyres are looking worse for wear. They're OOS at OO in 40c so I've opted for the just as niche sounding Challenge Gravel Grinders. Bit less centre tread so they should be better for the Summer.

Hoopy hoops
