Crazy Fat Bike Build!

Now that the fat bike trend has died off I thought it would be the perfect time to get involved...ok maybe I should've done this a while ago but back then I didn't have a well trained cat to collect the parts.
In all seriousness, I do get a lot of requests to build a fat bike, possibly due to Pat Smadge in the US ripping trials stuff on his. The stars aligned and I finally got the chance to get involved.
This is the most unique bike I've built yet and I'd like to say thanks to Light Bicycle for their Drift Fat680 rims https:bit.ly/lightbi...
Hayes for their awesome Dominion brakes hayesbicycle.c...
and Tartybikes for their help with the hubs www.tartybikes...
The next step is to get out riding and filming...I will say it here first that I don't think this fork will stay on for long though, it's great for gravel but bottoms out harshly when ridden aggressively. I think I'll most likely put the steel fork on very soon.
Thanks a lot as usual for watching, please let me know your thoughts!

I have a set of those LightBicycle Fat Tyre rims. They are fantastic. After 6 months of hard riding on all sorts of rocky or muddy or rooty terrain, they remain absolutely true. They are strong enough to handle some really big hits. When I ordered them from China I was blown away by the excellent service and quick turnaround from the wonderful staff at LightBicycle. They were such lovely people to deal with. LightBicycle - I really recommend them.

with fat bike tires, once you gorilla tape and seat the bead with a tube, take the tube out and lay the wheel on a 5 gallon bucket with the open bead facing down. Gravity will bring the tire bead towards the rim edge and allow it to seal up much easier. Have done dozens of different rim and tire combos with this method and it works 100% of the time. cheers!

Not sure if I’ll do a full review but first impressions are that it feels amazing for small bump sensitivity and would be perfect for trekking or non aggressive riding. It doesn’t seem to have too much ramp up progression though and bottoms out easily if ridden hard.
@pinionerop1188
@pinionerop1188 2 жыл бұрын
Yeah, that all true...you can adjust the progression a bit by choosing the grade of the springs but you have to choose it when you get that fork. But think before you do!!! And since i'm not that young anymore and my riding is not that progrssive anymore i'm very happy with that fork. And I just ride it like an stiff fork and so I get along very well even on some rooty singletrails. Sometimes you just have to play a little with the tires/tire pressure. But maintainence is a pure joy!!!

One year ago, I also bought a Fat Bike. It´s a fully with 24"x 4" wheels. I changed the breaking disks, with 160 mm, they was to small. I mounted 200 mm disks, the biggest I could find in shop. Thats why, the bike weights 30 kilos. Myselfe weights 90 kilos, so for me it is importante to can stop the bike safely and quickly. Greetings from Germany.

Hey man, great video. I have the same Fatbike, but with the standard Carbon fork ( Rigid ). It works great. In 5 years only had to replace the BB. No other bother at all. I ride mine everywhere, (all be it not to the same skill as you.). 50+ greenway miles, or drop the tire pressures and do the local trail centres. It’s way more versatile than people think.

It's a pleasure watching someone with great mechanical skills building such a unique bike, theres alway something to learn watching you! And the video quality is getting better and better, it really shows that you put in a lot of effort. For getting the tyres on, I would suggest using some soap water in a spray bottle, that hepls against leaking air and evaporates in a few minutes. It works for car tyres at the least. And whats is that white gease your using, does it have teflon in it and how's your experience with it, I just use some high stress grease from luqui moly. Cheers!

Now that's an interesting build for you Ali and you're 100% right, that fork is "Marmite" :-D Would be cool to try and entre it into the Trials comp, but not sure how those tyres would hold up and the fork seems to maybe be a bit light on spring rate for you. One thing I don't get, is why manufacturers don't drill fat bike rims with staggered holes to reduce the spoke angles, would help build much stronger wheels I'd think.
@Ali_Clarkson
@Ali_Clarkson 2 жыл бұрын
Don’t worry, after some advice on tyres and forks I’ve sent the Cute Thief out on another adventure to replace these, should make it a bit better off-road and for the comp. Spoke-wise. Because this is a carbon rim you can make it double walled without much of a weight penalty. I think most alloy fat rims are single wall to save weight. The down side of single walled rims is that they’re just not as stiff/supported, the offset spokes give the extra support and stops the rim from flopping about. The only downside to offset spokes is that (in theory) they make a slightly weaker wheel as you’re reducing the triangulation of the spokes. An offset pattern starts to become more of a rectangle and rectangles aren’t as strong as triangles. Because the double wall LB rim is stiffer you can keep the triangulation of the spokes and still have a rim that’s stiff enough even without any support…plus it makes finding spoke lengths a lot easier to calculate
@lynxg4641
@lynxg4641 2 жыл бұрын
Interested to see what tyres and fork you end up with, will definitely be keeping a look out for that vid. Get the whole triangle thing, but since the hubs are so wide, I'd figure with normal straight drilling the angles would be significantly more, so offsetting them would bring them back to normalish angles :-\

I’ve heard mixed reviews, I’m not sure if mine is the soft or firm spring (the Cute Thief won’t tell me) but I feel like something a LOT stiffer would be better

Pat Smage is absolutely killing it on fat bikes. Be interesting to see whether they are actually good for trials or he's just used to fat tires because of his moto background. Always felt like the geo is more oriented towards bike packing :) Definitely a nice build :)

Nice build deffo bro 👌, I've been cycling my whole life basically and have always been a hard aggressive rider but I' bought a cool brand new fat bike bout 2 yrs ago at a bargain price and wanted a more relaxed riding experience so first thing I did was rip of those ugly mountain bike style handle bars and put on a cool BMX style bar and added mirrors much like a motor bike with all the other cool goodies like a bike computer and powerful rechargeable headlight and stuff like that, it also came with its own side stand that was awesome and it's a huge bike but I love riding it around, they have become super expensive of late and I'm glad I got mine when I did because now I would never be able to afford one at there crazy prices, I realy like those forks and thinking of getting one for mine, thanks for a cool video and peace from South Africa ✌

I'd definitely have one of those Lauf forks on my 2002 DMR Switchback steelie. It has a steel bike packing fork at the moment. Rides well but a little bit of softness would be nice.

I’m trying to install a new BB on my bike, but I prefer not to buy all those specialty sockets. Could you let me know where you purchased that self-installing BB, please!?!? My LBS didn’t know even how to respond when I asked them....thanks!!

Those forks are a great innovation! I like them. A nice paint job would make them look sick! I wonder if you could 3D print something similar?

I’d definitely change the fork. I think it looks super weird. Bike seems a really cool. I’ve never had a bike with great brakes. I’ve never even had a bike with disc brakes lol. One day i hope to have a bike that brakes anywhere close to this fat bike

The fork is a fantastic bit of engineering but it’s not really that great for the aggressive riding I wanna do so it will be replaced soon 👍🏻
