Fat tracks

It's been a fine week making fat tracks with the Pugsley. It's only through snow that you realise how much of an ingenious invention this bike really is. For me (at errrmmm ..... 90kg), running the Endomorphs at 18 psi seems to give the right level of traction and stability for rolling, ploughing or floating over the snow & ice. Tread design is well thought out: when rolling along straight you get the wide foot print of low profile tyre, then when turning you get the deeper tread at the sides digging in perfectly. I found tail slides were easy, in a kind of automotive over-steer fashion, when locking on the rear brake and just sliding the back end round bends. Scares the shit out of pedestrians:-) Single speeding it was a good option because it wouldn't take long for your X.0 to ice up, plus trigger shifting aint much fun with big gloves.

ps. got this video today from Outbreak in Samoëns. It's one of my favourite Haute Savoie trails:-) Thanks Jamie, nice to get a reminder of where I'll be for a week or two this summer.
