Is there a need for bounce on a ham tyre?[/quote]
there is always need
Are the goofy Pugsley dropouts reason not to buy one? I like the Mukluk for the non-goofiness, but it’s more expensive and looks too nice. I wouldn’t be afraid to beat up a Surly in the same way that I would a Salsa.
Our police are also ham curious. Which is maybe a joke inside of a joke.

Yo dawg I heard you were ham curious…lololol
for a sec. I read that as Insane Clown Posse Department gets a fatbike, which is also lols.
In all seriousness, I’m glad they got that guy the bike. His job over the summer was basically biking around downtown during the day and checking up on all the bums to make sure they were doing alright. If a hambiek allows him to keep doing that after the weather gets shitty, I’m all for it.

A police force could buy a foot patrolman a fleet of bikes for what they blow on fucking segways. It’s one thing for Paul Blart, but REAL cops on segways? CMON!
Well, my wife is no longer ham curious:
The local hambiek emporium was closing out their demo fleet for $800. They had an XS so I rushed home to get the car and the wife. She’d had such a good time at the demo and this was a sweet price. She took a spin around the parking lot again and that was that! Now I need one…
that’s a crazy good price. have fun, Mrs. ShartAttack!
That sure is one ham happy wief. Just about assures you are getting one now.
That is fucking awesome.
We’ll see how long I can keep up with her on my winter commuter. But yeah, I’ll be getting one eventually, but definitely going to bide my time for another deal.
SCORE! You could probably rent it to friends in exchange for a 6 pack and never have to buy beer again.
Damn what a deal.
my shop stocks borealis
in case you don’t know what that is
here’s a link to something so ridiculous it causes me to giggle every time i walk in the store

You know, I kinda get it? I demoed an XX1 Beargrease, and even a noob like me could tell it was amazing. So light, felt so good. But holy jeezus, $6k? That Arrowhead 135 is one of the few real rationales for a bike like that, and it looks like less than 100 people ran it this year (not that that ever keeps people from blowing a serious wad on their toys)
I figured some of y’all might be interested in this.
I’ve been following that blog a few whiles now. I think Braden is right: hold off on 29+ until more tires and rims are available.
On that note, fat bikes are really happening. I saw a few dudes today on them.
They are getting really popular here… When we were picking up the hamwief’s bike, I think one or 2 more people called in about it. Makes me feel better about getting the ones with the special parts.
