Love the fat bike. Yes I own a framed Minnesota 2021. It’s nice but wanna add hydraulic brakes and a dropper and set it up tubeless as well. Also consider buying a new bike and making this a project build. Love the Rocky Mountain fat bikes. Sharp
I agree. Going tubeless saves a bunch of weight and will allow you to run lower pressure without tearing the tube’s valve-stems off. Hydro brakes are much better suited as well to slow these fat tire beasts down. 🍻
I’ve thought of getting one . I live in Arizona so very unlikely to see snow. I would use maybe 3.75 tires on a rigid build if it could end up less than 30lbs to ride in the dry desert here . I’m 72 and just sold my roadbike which I rarely road because of traffic plus I’d like to have disc brakes for going downhill. A fat bike might be fun to putt around on some desert trails here .
Same bike, but with the same parts I used on my “crazy budget bike upgrades” video and with 26x4.00” Jumbo Jim tires was a bit under 28 lbs. most Fat tires weigh less or the same as a burly dh tire. On this build the most weight comes from the cassette, bb and cranks, handlebar, seat and seatpost. You should get one! You will be surprised how normal it will handle, but with tons more traction and float in sandy surfaces.

I would love to try. Looks fun. Maybe those brakes would be too weak for this kind of bike, but on the other hand, Advent X is pefect for this.

Great Video! Proper lubricants for each mating surface and correct torque values. Well Done
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
awesome
🍻🍻 Thanks a lot!
