Welcome to Fat Camp show #29, just in time for the holiday season and hopefully some gosh darn snow in the land of the hand.
Here’s what’s on tap for this most recent episode:
Need warm feet? flats pedals and boots or spend the dough for
ESI grip discovery with KBS Theories
No love for fat bikes?
- Seems like fat bikes from the bigger manufacturers are not getting much love right now. AKA not seeing many of the component upgrades seen on other bike models
- No as much eagle as the rest of the MTB world, sparse XT and above Shimano and no Di2
From the back seat of the car, High Tech Hacking your zippers
It’s winter so make sure you do some prepping
What’s in your frame bag this winter?
And finally…..the age old discussion of tire and the proper rim width.
As always, get in touch with KBS and Andy (more than likely KBS since he’s the brains of the gig) by sending an email to fatcamppodcasters@gmail.com or check them out on the Instagram @fatcamppodcasters. Till next time….2018 baby……CHEERS!!
Those cycling specific winter boots are really nice but for the price of one (1) pair, i bought: rubber/neoprene (Boggs knock off) boots (-10C rated); Garmont Gore-Tex lined winter hiking boots (-40C); and Baffin Ice Breakers (-70C). Now I have multi-use footwear appropriate for cycling in Ottawa from November to April. So when it comes to defending a cycling purchase to my wife, that is a “not a hill I am willing to die on” (unlike CF wheels, dropper posts, upgrade to 12-speed, or a new frame).
touche’. point well made!
I ride with these (link below) and a light pair of base socks (wool) and wear just a pair of hiking shoes and have ridden in -10 and wind with no issues as long as I keep riding/moving. I know some people are more prone to cold feet and need the boots but these socks have been a game changer for me.
