Fat bike or cross bike?

I ran 33:17 fat bike last year. Could have gone higher geared.

[Joshvegas]

um...

26inch mountainbike...

[Ian]

Wow, niche

[Joshvegas]

I know right?! Small wheels is aero innit.

Having ridden it you say stick with 32 16 or make it less spinny?

[Ian]

I'd go with about 60 gear inches (33:16 on a 29er).

So that'd be 32:14 for those little aero wheels you've got.

[Joshvegas]

Right i'll sort a 14 i thought i might want to calk taller as it diesnt look too hilly!

It is fun though right? Looooong drive from edinburgh... via harrogate!

[Ian]

It's a good course. Hope it's drier for you than it was last year. The woods singletrack is good - fast and flowing. You should have plenty of fun, though it's pretty full on in terms of pace and effort. Not many places to have a rest!

29er+ for me but do I ride with Knards or Cronicles?

[Joshvegas]

well its pretty soon. Have i prepped in anyway.... noooooope

I'll be one of the hammockers. Keeping the stereotype with a rigid singlespeed and beard!

After riding on some local sand this morning (very early before work of course ) the FrankenCross is coming for a play as well.
I'll chose the best bike on the day after a test ride on Sunday to guarantee me a place in the mid table mediocrity area of the field.

So you're my competition then?
