Our man Wood makes these every once in a while. This one's from last year, but I just watched it again and it makes me happy. So here's round two:

Your Rabbit Hole Looks Knardy

Friday, August 17, 2012

And so, dear friends, the end of the week has graced us with its "I'm about to get loaded" promises, but there's just one last pile of information we promised to dole out (like so much yogurt on so many wooden spoons.) THE KNARD (I stole this shot from Maurice at Dirt Rag because he probably won't sue us.) We've told you most of the pertinent details of the new 29x3.0 Surly Knard tire. It'll be about 820g for the 120tpi folding version and pretty close to that for the 27tpi. It's got blocks and whatnot for a tread pattern…

It floats like a butterfly and stings like a very large and hostile bee. So, what's the scoop on it generally? Is it a fatbike?…

I’m not saying that your Pacer doesn't get muddy from time to time, and I sure hope that your CrossCheck gets rode hard and put away wet- but just try and work with…

How Fat can we go?

In today’s edition of “Look at our new, but dirty, stuff™” you’ll see some new tires for your really obese bike and a set of cranks that’ll work just swell with them. Let’s start with those tires that we’ve named the Bud & Lou, which happen to be a front (Bud) and rear (Lou) specific set of fat rubber sexyness. The MSRP for the tires will be $170.00 each.   Here’s Bud.   Bud likes to be out front, like the Croatian Bear. Bud is a 26” x 4.8” 120tpi tire with a folding bead.    Here’s Lou.   Lou…
