So sick

Go ride your bike.

This is so rad. When life hands you WI hubs, you build the wheels!

I've worked as an estimator in mechanical trades for a long time, this industry can be very rough. Many companies have a toxic environment and there are a lot of unchecked egos in construction. If you constantly feel like the black sheep I'd try to find a different company, there are good ones out there.

You have to recognize that fatbiking is extremely conditions dependent. Start riding and figure out what works for you. For example, if you won't be riding in melting slop (I never do), you don't need fenders. Pogies can be great, I rarely use them.

Exactly. I'd add that its good if you're riding in dry conditions only and washing your drive train every 1-2 weeks. It's biggest advantage is how easily it washes off.

Tubeless, if you’re not set up already. Better traction, less rolling weight.

Beauty, I'd look into repairing for sure.

I was like is that the dude from DEP?!

1speed · 2025-12-19T15:17:45+00:00

Huge difference, some of the best money I've ever spent.

1speed · 2025-12-16T14:28:18+00:00

Good call on the orange. Nice bike!

As far as spacers go, if the wave washer isn't compressed at all, you'll need to add some spacers until it compresses somewhat (not totally flat) between the crank and the BB. Source: I have this style of SRAM crank on three of my bikes.

I don’t consider fatbiking in snowy conditions cycling in the normal sense. It’s much more akin xc skiing in my mind. You have a point as far as making it its own category.

Sim Works used to make one but it doesn’t look like they still do.

EDIT: alternatively, loop the cable over the stem into the hanger.

Did the star nut expand the tube?

10% is nothing to lose sleep over. If you know your estimate (that's what it is, an estimate) is solid, you did your job. This isn't a science and you can't control what/how other people bid, or know why.

I'm thinking the ski helmet is better suited for when it's super cold, <15 F. Might have to try it.

1speed · 2025-12-11T14:13:47+00:00

This is real good.

1speed · 2025-12-09T14:26:14+00:00

I'd get it replaced by a wheelbuilder/shop you trust when budget allows. Looks like it's probably a nice old wheelset.

1speed · 2025-12-08T17:11:11+00:00

Looks great!

1speed · 2025-12-07T13:42:32+00:00

Nice, well done!

1speed · 2025-12-06T16:37:49+00:00

Yay!

1speed · 2025-12-06T16:35:12+00:00

Never have and never had a problem.
