Well that kind of blew my mind. How much would the different tire sizes tweak the trail?
I see dudes put drop bars on fatbikes, but TC I’m never going fast enough on mine that I feel like I should get low
terrible dirt derps are terrible, thought that didn’t need to be said
[quote=Sneaky Viking]61 ett in the largest size seems crazy short, compared to like a Fatboy with 62.5 in the L or 65 in the XL (and a 70.5 HTA).
plz explain plz.[/quote]
look at the front center
top tube is a bullshit measurement, effective or otherwise

On-One is sized for inbred Brits and left us corn-bred American colossi out of the picture.
Also, lots of fat bike brands skip XL entirely it seems, especially in carbon. Fuckers.
Fred, at the risk of going full Mig, can you explain:
L on–one and XL fatboy both have 1145 wheelbase and 445 chain stays. On-one doesn’t list bb drop, but lets assume sample as Spec at 315, so we can assume front center is same on both.
Both have 73 STA, but HTA is 70.5 on Spec vs 68, so that’s how they end up with same front center with TT lengths 4cm different?
wouldn’t I need to run a stem 4 cm longer to get bars in same spot? And aren’t 750 bars gonna handle like shit with a 100 stem? Alternately, On-One recommends a 50-60 stem while the Fatboy comes with a 70, so the on-one’s gonna have you squished at least 50mm closer?
Don’t answer Fred
Let him get his own thread to ask stupid questions about stupid bikes
Yo sv
Drop bars do not belong on mtbs
you earned this thread, and it is so named in your honor.
I’m glad you discovered that drop bars don’t belong on mtbs. My questions refer to the fatbike set up with flat bars.
Yes
If you’re gonna pick a measurement to size a MTB by across designs, that’s it
No, it’s not a road bike
You’re setting up the cockpit to position your weight over the wheels and for handling response, long term power production is much less important. You can always bend your elbows more to drop your shoulders when you need to motor.
Also, wider bars. Try 780mm if you’re a normal sized adult.
Fixie-oogens would not believe that I’d be riding 760mm bars and feel the need to go wider still

but I’m saying, if one cockpit is 2 inches closer to you, how does that not affect your weight over the wheels?
(I just threw 750 out there for bars because that’s what comes on the Fatboy.)
Because on both bikes your feet, ass, and axles are in the same spots
but… most of my weight is concentrated near my wrists?
If this is true then changing the distance to the bars definitely changes weight distribution.
Not necessary. People have tendency to self correct their position despite changing bar placement. Longer stem may just mean less bend in elbows to keep back/hip angle the same.
Certainly there are going to be cases where the change in bar placement will actually force the rider into a radically different position but in this particular hypothetical maybe not.
Would make for a very interesting and easy to conduct experiment though
Wth are you doing in my thread. This is my safe place
ur migueling it bro

weight distribution is all about where your shoulders are over the wheels
and that’s mostly dictated by your butt stuff
