I’ve been looking at aftermarket screw-in studs for fatbike and motocross tires for a while now since I love to ride all winter long and a lot of times the snow is just a mixture of ice and slush. The premier US seller of studs is a company called gripstuds who sell a variety of custom…
I’ve been pretty disappointed with most of Vee Rubber’s fat tire offerings. It surprises me that the largest fat tire manufacturer in the world seems to have the hardest time coming up with decent tread patterns. It seems like they would do a whole lot better if they did what every other tire manufacturer in…
A year and a half ago I read this article on fat-bike.com about the up and coming Juggernaut Pro 4.0 tire which promised to revolutionize the fat bike tire market. The new Juggernaut Pro tires had a pretty deep tread pattern but at less than 800 grams, were much lighter than any Fat Bike tire…
I haven’t really tested any road specific fatbike tires other than the Vee Rubber Vee 8, which is only a ‘road tire’ in that it’s pretty much useless for anything else. The Vee 8 competes with the Vee Rubber Mission 4 as my least favorite fat bike tire of all time. The Duro was shipped mounted…
There’s fat bikes and then there is the “what the hell is that?” bikes. The Phat Phuk really deserves a category of its own as the massive 5 inch actual width tires are like nothing else currently on the market. Vee Rubber decided to release a tire so big that it won’t even fit on…
The Sondors Ebike. Here we go. I rode the Sondors Ebike with the throttle pegged down and my first reaction was “Wow! This bike doesn’t totally suck”. The logos and the styling make it look like the latest incarnation of the Batmobile, and it rides like a tank over most everything in its path. Tooling around everyone…
I’ve been tired of Surly and Vee-Rubber tires which seem to make up about 90% of my rubber collection (not counting my Trojans but they are all past their expiration date) so I picked up a used Maxxis 120tpi Mammoth on ebay for $50 that had been “installed and ridden” only 3 times. Although the tread…
Their tops are made out of rubber, their bottoms are made out of spring They’re bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers is: I’m the only one! I finally broke down and bought a Bluto and tested it in the woods and was surprised to find the Tigger song…
I test drove the Vee Rubber Vee 8 4″ tire that came stock with my newest build of a Bullseye Monster Bluto Pro with a Biktrix BBS02. I was on the 72tpi wire bead version which retails at $68 but can be found for much less online. As I was riding I had the most…
Got a chance to demo the Felt LEBOWSKe today. I rode it around on some pavement and through the grass, over some big roots and up and down a few small hills. By no stretch of the imagination did I actually ride the kind of single-track I am used to thrashing my $1000 electric fat-bikes…
