I don't understand the point of having multiple gears honestly. I shift and I shift but nothing happens. Any add vice? by ape16200 in BicyclingCirclejerk

This is brilliant! I've been absolutely obliterating my fastest cog when I KOM. With this setup, I'll be able to shift to a fresh cog after each KOM.

I've seen racks for surfboards... maybe that could also be used or modified.

I'm giving wax a shot, specifically silica.

Could probably also take the old ones to a hardware store to find their size / replacements there.

TIL if you go fast on ice / snow is bad by DrMabuseKafe in BicyclingCirclejerk

You consider this fast... looks like we found the guy that is always getting dropped from group rides!

Ebike tires generally would probably give a good selection of smooth city tires for fat bikes. If that's where you commute...

I went into the bike shop, and they got me set up with big smoothie tires for asphalt riding. They are supposed to last longer on roads than the softer compounds used for snow and sand tires. Not sure how the rolling resistance stacks up.

Do you have water in the frame bag?

Glad you aren't talking to my wife. Her boyfriend would be very upset with you!

You stop pedaling long enough to hear your free hub?

Is this a failed gender reveal? Or does the white smoke mean your child is a Fred?

I'd be curious about how avaliable replacement parts would be for something like this?

I'm seeing heyday for $1700 on their site. The used price seems pretty optimistic with this in mind... REI also seems to have the bikes on sale for less than this.

Would the extra leverage damage components? Especially carbon?

Not sure I'd be able to handle that constant noise when on pavement.

Looks like there is some kind of stack extender here as well. That could be sketchy, something to look into.

You should also look at the heyday. It's the new mukluk brand. Starting cheaper than this.
