Thread: Mountain bikes

I have a fat bike for sale on Trade Me currently. Bit more than you are wanting to spend though. I've done a bit of riding on it with a pack on, but not with a rifle. Only selling it because I have bought an E-bike for the Mrs.

I agree with what @Shearer is saying about traction. I have the same frame as him, but replaced the heavy wheelset with a much lighter carbon set up and also have front suspension. Made a massive difference to the ride and is way easier to pedal. I reckon its way more fun than the original set up too. (You should buy it @Shearer...)

Haha. Thanks @The Claw. Nice offer but I already have one with front suspension at my disposal (Mrs Shearer's) and I have made my bike tubeless so quite a bit lighter than standard (It was a bloody mission though). The good thing about the carbon fork is that I can mount the rifle or rod on it and it's lighter than the suspension fork.
