Cycle Fan Posted October 13, 2015 Share Hi guys, wondering if anyone can assist? I work at a holiday resort in PE and we are looking at buying some Fat Bikes to do guided tours including some beach sections. I'm just a bit worried about how fit/strong you need to be to ride on the sand? We'd have to cater to all levels and ages and the terrain is not too technical or hilly - mostly flat. Would the average person with no mtb/cycling background cope with riding on the soft sand? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks If you're talking soft, dry beach sand then they're quite challenging - pretty hard work to maintain momentum and limited handling. For slightly harder (normally wet) sand they're very easy to ride. Best bet is to get one and try it out on your terrain. The tyres are only double the width of normal mtb tyres so they still sink into the sand. Still a lot of fun and a unique experience for most even if some people need to get off a push for a few sections, or at worst they fall over at 10kph on to soft sand.

Small chainring up front with a wide spread at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loose sand you must be strong/ have cycling legs. Hard or low tide sand is easy.Don't forget the wind. Those tyres really feel the wind especially on an exposed beach. Always start into the wind with newbies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTB0007 Posted October 31, 2015 Share I have just moved over to the Fat side..I went to the cycle fair last week and tested a fatty..It was a real eye opener, I enjoyed it so much on Monday I sold my road bike and got a Mongoose Argus ..as I don't race anymore I wanted a bike - A do it all bike .. I have found the do it all bike for me .. obviously 5 kg heavier than my 7kg road bike but I can skip across a tar mac and into a jeep track without any worries And no suspension *** to maintain.. just big ass tyresThe Mongoose is obviously not a carbon racing machine but she has decent SLX derailers and Deore shifters with hyd disc brakes I have fitted FUNN seat post with Sella Italia saddle , light weight FUNN stem and bars.. I know riding hills will be a little more challenging but WTF .. I ride cos I love cycling now days not to win any races Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
