I love my fat bike. My local trails are plagued with sand and roots (and often, mud.). Throw in snowy winters here, and going fat has really expanded the quantity AND the quality of my riding experience. BUT ...I gotta say ...all your reasons for "switching" are basically because you were taking biking too seriously. You could have simply opted out of racing and 90% of your "reasons" would be gone. That's not the bike. That was you. I am glad you are enjoying biking again. Personally I will hang on to my hard tail mtb and my fattie, and ride whichever looks to be the most fun given the trail/conditions/my mood. Its important to ride what makes you smile - "comparison is the thief of joy" whether it is who can ride the fastest, who can land the most dangerous jump, or who has the most expensive bike. It is supposed to be FUN.

For me the bike is lighter so at slower speeds it’s a quicker to respond. When riding in snow I have the tire psi lower so it helps not feeling every jolt and jab…. When I ride it on the road I’ll push the tire psi to 12.5 psi this helps the tire roll huge! Don’t hesitate to ask questions. I’ll be straight up with you. RIDEFAT and have a great week.
