2019 Salsa Beargrease Fat Bike Test Review 26 vs 27.5 Fat Bike Shootout

[@OldManFatBike]

Fantastic review and comparison!

[@mountainbikeondemand]

Thank you. Fat bikes are a lot of fun. The segment doesn't get enough attention. Only problem is now I want to trade in my 2016 for a 2019.

[@mountainbikeondemand]

Thanks for commenting by the way. It helped us find your Channel.

[@77rockcity]

Just ordered mine from LBS, $1,599 for complete bike. Thank you Salsa Anniversary sale!!!

[@mountainbikeondemand]

Congratulations on the new ride. Once you get to take it for a spin stop back by and let us know how you like it.

[@77rockcity]

@@mountainbikeondemand Thanks, excited to have my face hurt from fat tire smiles.

[@77rockcity]

@@mountainbikeondemand Wow! It rips and just wants to go fast. It'll be hitting trail center in the a.m. #skrt

[@mountainbikeondemand]

@@77rockcity Sweet! Glad to hear you like it. Riding the 2019 definitely has us wanting to upgrade our 2016. Keep the rubber side down.

[@michiganstate149]

It's great looking back at this and realizing the frame only is more $ than the full Deore model in 2019

[@daytondbMF]

This bike is so much fun. Will put front suspension on it someday. Despite people saying you don’t need front suspension with a fat bike i found it would be helpful at some places (Devou, Great Seal).

[@mountainbikeondemand]

Went back and looked at this video and saw a lot of comments we missed. For warmer dryer months where we wanted to ride more aggressively we would definitely like a suspension Fork.

You should check out the Atrium Medical Center Bike Park in Lebanon. It has very good single track and beginner double track with optional features for beginners to progress on. They have a black diamond jump trail two pump tracks 9 green and blue trails. Most notable and popular are the Gemini loop (right next to the skills area) and both Apollo Loops (In the middle of the Park). Notable of areas are the skill tracks. There are many technical features including, a log skinny and A frame 4 skinnies ending in a rock garden. My favorite addition is the advanced pump track because of the three big table tops. I think that this would be a great addition to the channel’s content due to the fact that this place is really cool and not many people know about it. I go every Saturday at noon so I could show you guys around the park! Thank you!

[@mountainbikeondemand]

My wife and I ride out there from time to time. We love that place. We have three Trails we have to finish filming at devou Park. After that, Lebanon is next on our list to film. Shoot us a message on our Facebook page and we will hit you up the next time we're headed out that way for a ride. Liked your Haro bike check and subscribed to your Channel. Thanks for reaching out!

[@harveyhollandsworth8527]

MTB Cincinnati Thanks for the response but that Haro bike changed a lot. New rockshox ergon grips carbon rims and some battle marks from crashing at windrock.

[@mountainbikeondemand]

@@harveyhollandsworth8527 Carbon wheels, that's probably one of the nicest Haros out there. Congratulations on the upgrades.

[@mtbboy1993]

3:02 that won't do much on ice, you need studded tyres forr ice.

[@mountainbikeondemand]

For sure.

[@Noop-Noop56]

"I prefer in my opinion the 2019 model's paint job because of the wheeeeeels"

[@mountainbikeondemand]

The wheels certainly make it nice.

[@hughsnyder891]

Can you run 29+ tires and wheels on this ?

[@darthpotassiums1fan20]

I love your videos! But if I can offer some constructive criticism, I think you should just have a brief summary of the video in the description, instead of the script. Can’t wait for the next vid!

[@mountainbikeondemand]

Thanks for watching and for your input. We have a couple of Powersports channels where we usually post most of our script as the description so there are more words for Google to search. Perhaps you're right though.

[@42WallabyWaySydney]

I like the script in there. Because why not lol. Or instead you could post it as a pinned comment

[@podcast1517]

I have a somewhat embarrassing question? I'm just getting back into MTBiking and I live in covington Ky and want to take devou park bit my bike hardly shifts and breaks just are plain junk, I don't feel safe descending on it, the bike is a 2001 mongoose MGX ds7000 (cheap bike but all I can afford) is there and CHRAP upgrades I can do to get it up to par?? THANK you so much my name is David Flanagan PLEASE HELP

[@mountainbikeondemand]

Hi Dave, regardless of whatever type of components are on your bike, if it barely shifts in the brakes aren't working it sounds like you would benefit from a tune-up first and foremost. If you do not feel qualified as a mechanic we would suggest contacting a local bike shop. Reser Bicycles in Newport Kentucky can look it over and give you a quote for a tune-up or whatever Parts need to be replaced. Just in case your bike is a basket case and you are low on funds as we are at times you can often find a decent deal on a used bike on Cincinnati bike Market on Facebook. If you really prefer to go new the guys at the shop can sometimes get you hooked up with a 0% financing deal. Either way, there are a few options. Hope this helps. Keep us posted.

[@podcast1517]

thank you for the reply, I will definitely ride out there this weekend, I'm a coffee drinker as well,, my bike will most likely be a basket case LOL,, that's why I mainly ride the parks on the river in cincinnati and cross rubling bridge and purple people bridge,, but as an outdoorsman and looking for it as a new hobby I rather hit the trails and get off the asphalt, again I'll stay in touch and stay tuned to your channel,, oh one more thing, there is a prankster You Tuber (Dennis Roady) who which has another channel for children and has a cool puppet show called PILY PALS he has had you tubers like roman Atwood on there, he lives in Cincinnati it would be cool if he could make a episode about mountain biking

[@mountainbikeondemand]

@@podcast1517 we hope they're able to get you back in good operating order soon. The coffee there is great. Tell the guys at the shop we said hi.

[@Milesobrian]

What do you have for 800 bucks?

[@mountainbikeondemand]

The bike shop we worked with can probably get you hooked up with something for around that price. Give Reser Bicycles a Shout.

[@ofeghahati]

You can buy the frame for now!
