    My Beecool experience

    Yes, not an unusual story for a buy direct bike. You really have to go into a direct buy with your eyes wide open knowing you are on the hook for labor. If you can't perform basic bike labor you may want to reconsider. A "more expensive" bike from your LBS may not be more expensive in the...

    What do you HATE about your fat tires?

    It feels like you moved the goalpost. Your initial question was "I regret buying a fat tire bike. How about you?" Now it feels like you are talking about JUST the tires on your fat tire bike. SO is your question what do you regret about the tires on your fat tire bike? or are you just trolling?

    What do you HATE about your fat tires?

    OK, I'll play, I hate swapping summer tires for winter tires. I can't find a cheap wheelset so I swap tires onto the rims.

    I think if you check into it, I bet you'll find the "real" fat tire bike craze has peaked.

    What do you HATE about your fat tires?

    Not tubeless here: 1. I swap tires in the summer and winter. Goop would get spendy. 2. I would worry about the goop freezing.

    Bicycle passing law

    Mn has a farm permit that is age 15. When I was a kid it was 14 and I had one. Of course you could only use it for "farm chores".

    Bike insurance

    I called my agent last week and they said they could insure them as miscellaneous vehicles. I have not returned the call yet to see what exactly this entails, but I will next week and post their response.

    Suggestions for ebike around $1500?

    Agree, if you are commuting regularly on tar and gravel, fat tires, are a determent. When I turn the power off on my fat tire it feels like pedaling in wet cement. If you should lose power for some reason you will pay after 4 or 5 miles. These electric fat bikes are heavy and have the highest...

    What do you HATE about your fat tires?

    I bought mine as a tool and I knew what I wanted it for. I needed an off road, all season bike that handle anything. So far I've not been disappointed with my fat tire.

    Known name doesn't always equate to reliability. The Ford Aspire comes to mind. 🤣

    Why do I always know better?

    If a $1000 ebike gets you off the couch and into a great recreational activity....sign me up. I bought a sort of budget bike for my first bike. A Biktrix Juggernaut at the time was $1700. It's still my winter/fat tire beater and I still enjoy riding it. Would I love a Norco Bigfoot for $5700...
