TALUS Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 I'm sticking a bluto on my fatbike, comes in 100 or 120mm travel, what would you guys go for?I have 100. I wonder whether a mere mortal will ever use 120 considering the tyres give you some undamped absorption too.
Ryanpmb Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 I'm sticking a bluto on my fatbike, comes in 100 or 120mm travel, what would you guys go for? What bike is it going on? Whats the bikes geometry? I'd say if you want racey go with 100mm. If you want a fun trail machine 120mm.
DanielJhb Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Putting it on my spez fatboy. Think its got a 70 degree head tube. They go for 6-8k depending where you buy from

Frohan Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Me after the Argus MTB race yesterday, I only did the 38km and managed a 15th place on the Fatty, but it was hard work!! Some of the 55km riders were pissed off being passed by a Fat bike on some of the steep climbs! I honestly don't see the need for a shock, I was riding my tires hard yesterday, front was 0,7 bar and back was 0,8 bar and still I had enough grip at the back and suspension at the front.

(plus, of course, the extra wheelset) Sorry but what does "29er wheels for Fatbikes" mean? 29er wheels would fit most (probably all) fatbikes anyway considering that a fat tyre on a 26" rim is around 28.75" in diameter. So near as dammit to 29". Or are you referring to 29er+? Whether fitting 29" wheels on a fatbike would give you "racing snake" I'm not so sure.

Fatbikes use a larger hub sizing 135mm up front and 170-190mm at back (depends on brand) so these are 29er rims built on Fatbike hubs
