Reasonable request.

After slogging through this:

...on my ride today I think it only reasonable and sensible that I demand a fat-bike!!!

Is it asking too much to want to have the correct tool for the job - surely not???

I'm going to have a stern (grovelling) chat with the wife and we'll see what delayed-Santa can muster-up before the winter ends.

Will keep you updated.....

Gairy.

P.s. on a more realistic note - if anyone happens to have a pair of fat-friendly forks not in use I might be interested in taking 'em off your hands as a half-fat would cost next to nothing to put together and might even avoid a kicking from the mrs!

I wish the snow stayed long enough to justify buying a fatbike..... :cry:

Sorry to burst the bubble but even fat bike would of sucked when the snow gets deep... definitely would be a little better but you would still see some pushing :(

brilliant, thanks a lot - now i can't show the little lady this thread as back-up for my argument!!!

no, you're absolutely right but there is a network of cross-country skiing tracks that are flattened/compressed (or whatever they do to 'em) in the area that I was thinking I could utilise whenever the snow gets too deep elsewhere.

Well if I had access to groomed snowy trails owning a fat bike would be a no brainer :)
