This is mountain biking / fat tire biking....no super groomed trails or all down hill...for this real vid I am subscribing....keep the real fat biking going!
Thx for the sub and major compliment 🙏I started this as a way to show my family/friends who were asking about what I get up to (I was gifted the GoPro to do so) but also for my future self to look back on. I guess somewhere along the way other people started following me too :) I usually strap a camera on and go for a ride. Either by myself or with friends. Hopefully no matter where I’m riding it gives that same vibe that I/we are just out having fun, pushing ourselves and seeing what we can do. Glad you’re along for the ride 🤘
Yea, that's me, I am a lousy bike handler. It's frustrating. You're doing better than me though. I like the alternate creek route that you took and then the exit from the creek worked perfect. That was a great day I'm sure.
@Snowdog1010 haha thx yeah it was pretty crazy - made it home through the blizzard and my boots & laces were frozen. I had to thaw my boots before I could take them off 😅🥶
I have a mongoose Argus Trail fat bike. I took my first ever far ride in the snow yesterday, and what a beautiful feeling, and a great way to get around in the winter. The control blew my mind away, fatbikes are the 4x4 of biking.
@@BikingwithJP Well, if you have any recommendations (for bikes available in Europe) I'm all ears! I am looking for a bike mostly for summer, to ride in national parks and on the beach.
I’m not as familiar with what’s available in Europe, but I can give you specs that will translate across any brand. 12 speed. There’s 10 and 11, but if you plan on doing any climbing you’ll want 12 speed. A good drivetrain makes a huge difference. 26 vs 27.5 - if you’re riding groomed trails all the time 27.5… if you want to explore 26 typically supports wider tires. Check each bike to see how wide the tires can go. 3.6/3.7 is typical for 27” / groomed trails, my tires are 26x4.8 but support up to 5.6”. Suspension - hardtail for efficiency and cost, I have fully rigid although I probably wouldn’t complain if it had front sus. Brakes - get hydraulic brakes. Big tires to stop, don’t get cable or you’ll need to do finger workouts so you can ride one finger braking ;) Dropper post - for me a game changer. You’ll see me struggle with my seat up on a skinny and then I drop my seat - manually because this bike doesn’t have a dropper yet - and I get it first try. ruclips.net/video/ixR-D8eJyiQ/видео.html
@@BikingwithJP Will a front sus reduce pain in the sitting bone and/or wrist pain (old injury)? I like the simplicity of a fully rigid, but not sure it's a good idea.
@@Learningtolearn2024 yeah man it was just difficult conditions :) Check out this video I made about doing exactly that / airing down on trail -> The Correct Fat Bike Tire Pressure - Do you Need Studded Tires? ruclips.net/video/WqLmiQ05rvw/видео.html
This is why I ride - After 2 heart ops for a birth defect I'm borderline for a 3rd heart op, raising money or Heart & Stroke - heartandstrokerideforheart.crowdchange.ca/page/bikingwithjp
I do! I love to roll my fatties. I’ve bike packed with one too they handle sand and snow mobile trails fantastically! I ride mine a lot in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Nice video!
Anyone else have a fat bike? Where do you like to ride? What's the correct fat bike tire pressure? Is Fat Biking for you? -> ruclips.net/video/WqLmiQ05rvw/видео.html
@@Fortuna_716 I think you’ll find it’s way better for winter, I have 2.5” tires with aggressive tread on my 29er MTB and after one ride in the snow on a Fat Bike… I get it. You’ll love it if you get it!
I definitely need something if I’m going to keep biking along this path with how uneven it is, even on a wet day in the summer it’s sketchy. My first thought is to try airing down and playing with tire pressure before seeing how far that can take me until I need studs. My legs were so tired already after this ride l and less tire pressure will also mean more effort - so I’m looking forward to that 😅
Well tire pressure is hard to say because my pump starts reading about 8psi and the tires are now set to 10psi. I think before I let some air out they were closer to 15psi. Feels like they can go a lot softer too but I think I’ll end up having to do it by feel if I need to drop below 10psi 😝 what’s a normal fatty tire pressure?
I imagine if Sam Pilgrim got a Fat Bike he’d run 60psi ;) I am trying to go by feel. I’m not sure how accurate my pump is below 10psi as it only goes down to 8… meanwhile ppl on Strava saying 3-7psi spending on rear/front snow/mud. So by feel it is :)

Fat Bikes Rock! Thanks so much for the video!! I'm in the process of building my 2022 Kona Woo 😉
Man, you are crazy 😅 Great video and huge effort!
@@Shusts_in_Canada haha thx glad you enjoyed, you’re not the first person to call me crazy 😆

That’s sick! Let me know what you get! 🤘

I'd hate to do that to my bike but that was awesome. Thanks for the video
lol thx man glad you enjoyed! Feel free to sub for more things you’d hate to do to your bike but enjoy watching 😅
Were you aired down brotha?

Fat bikes are awesome.
Hell yeah so glad I got one instead of a gravel bike like everyone else told me to get 🤘 glad you enjoyed, sub if you want to see more

wow, a lot of water and dirt.😊👍

😂 thanks, sounds like you definitely get good use out of it! Glad you enjoyed :)
A few of us in the OCC have fat bikes. I just picked up a second fat bike so that my son or girlfriend can ride.
Durham Forest gets groomed.
Sweet sounds like you’ve got a collection going! Do you also MTB, gravel or road etc?
Yes to mountain, road, gravel and Fatbike and zwift.
Nice collection! I’ve got Zwift, MTB and now my fatty here. How do you enjoy Zwift?
Anyone else have a fat bike? Where do you like to ride?
What's the correct fat bike tire pressure? Is Fat Biking for you? -> ruclips.net/video/WqLmiQ05rvw/видео.html
I have a giant toughroad slr, gravel bike but I can fit some pretty big tires on it, looking to get the giant yukon for the harsh buffalo winters

Welp, looks like you have fat bike conditions to ride in!
Looks like you need some studded tires! Lol

@BikingwithJP what tire pressures are ya running?

@BikingwithJP ah okay 👍 I'm not sure what a normal pressure is, just making sure you're not running the same pressures as your skinny tires haha
I imagine if Sam Pilgrim got a Fat Bike he’d run 60psi ;) I am trying to go by feel. I’m not sure how accurate my pump is below 10psi as it only goes down to 8… meanwhile ppl on Strava saying 3-7psi spending on rear/front snow/mud. So by feel it is :)
