Another ride, another crash! 🤣 Please help me get to 1,000 subs! Have fun on your bikes, everyone!
You rode on more snow than I did this year! Nice work 🙌
Yo JT!! Haha, we had like 2 snow days here in Delaware. I had to take advantage!
Good stuff Todd. I love fat biking all year round. They are especially fun in the snow because it takes your chucky trails and smooths them out. Can't wait to hear what you think of the other tires. Regarding the dropper, if the frame is aluminum you can just drill a hole in the seat tube, just a thought.
Good points, Sage 🤘 I was going to head out to White Clay the next day, but it started melting lol. I'm really enjoying this fat bike! And you're right, you can zoom on that thing. Fat bikes definitely don't equal "slowww."
Keep an eye on your Framed Minnesota 's cassette. During the last year of production, Framed used some substandard parts. I found that Framed supplied my Minnesota Framed Fat bike with a cheap "Sunshine" branded cassette. Unfortunately, on a steep hillclimb, the bikes tallest gears in this cassette two composite spacers cracked. My chain jumped off of the cassette and got jammed between the spokes and gear one. I had to remove the rear wheel, pull the derailleur off and untangle a very dirty chain in the field to temporarily fix it enough to get home. I later replaced the Sunshine cassette with a new Sun Race, CSMS2, 10sp, 11-42T cassette.
The Sun Race cassette has metal spacers and is stainless steel. It makes my riding experience on my Framed Minnesota much better.
I've already swapped it for an slx 11-42! Great feedback as I noticed the same thing!
Fat bikes are addicting. I started with a Framed Minnesota, and now have 3 different fat bikes, with another on the way. Edit: If you're an ambassador for State, what made you choose the Framed? Is the Framed used?
I had the Framed first. I'm actually a Trek guy, haha. State reached out and offered the ambassadorship program. Discounts on products, etc. I own a few of their themed jerseys etc. Fun brand!
You definitely feel the burn on a fat bike.
Hell yeah you do! So much fun 🤘
@@BIIIKES we never even got our trails groomed this year. Such a bummer.
Oh no... This was the first time it snowed in almost 3 years where I live. I had zero idea my local state park even groomed them!
@@BIIIKES this is the first time in my 47 years that we haven’t had enough snow. I live in southern Minnesota
Oh wow!
