Quiring Cycles 4130 Steel Fat-Tandem
I should probably put some sort of #bikeporn warning at the beginning of this little Fat-Tandem Centerfold from Quiring Cycles. This all started when one of our readers reached out in an email to me and asked who could make him and his bride a fat tandem? That made me think about Scott and Christina Quiring […]
Wallpaper Wednesday – Summer Cool Down
This week’s Wallpaper Wednesday comes to us from Justin VanAlstyne. Justin’s rides out of Fort Collins, Colorado and he’s a WW veteran.

Klunkedelic – REEB Hooptie (in da hizzie)
I’ve been lusting after REEB’s Hooptie since it premiered a couple of years back. The Hooptie is a blend of a mid/long-travel hardtail along with a classic Klunker.

Fatback Big Su Carbon Wheel Review
A quality Carbon Fiber Wheelset can significantly improve the ride feel of a fat-bike. Reducing rotational mass on a fat-bike is more important than say on a road bike because of the size (and weight) of fat-bike tires. Lightweight wheels provide a similar feeling that you get when you go tubeless but, by my estimation, […]
Wallpaper Wednesday – Allroy Jr.
Trevor Hughes sent us a portrait of his son with his KHS Raptor Plus Bike. Dad souped up The lad’s ride with a Race Face stem and bars, electric green HT flat peddles, kid size Spank lock on grips and a Lizard Skin chain guard. Fat-bikes always make me feel like a kid again and who […]

I’ve been on somewhat of a quest over the past five years to seek out the best frame bag for my Fatback Corvus FLT named Ten Beers. This is the fourth frame bag that I’ve fitted to this bike. The last two bags have featured precise bolt-on attachments that led me to upgrade. I thought […]
