Made a 29er Pugsley ...

[Noob-TNT]

I'm super lazy AND short on time, I decided, last min. to try "short track" mtb racing.
My full sus. wally goose is about 35lbs and my "fat bike", is well too fat... sooo... I ordered 2, of the cheapest 29er rear wheels J&B had, & and re-dished them 17.5mm offcenter to fit the pug.

Here is a pic right after the last race ( Wed, yesterday. )

What size tire did you go with. "Regular" 29ers or 29er+

I would really like to get one of their Ice Cream Trucks… using it Fat.. and with 29er+ wheel set up.

Just some 2.1's ... wanted to cut down on friction/drag... & maybe faster.
I did 2 races on it, now its time to put it way until Dec. when the supposed "bad" winter will get here. ( ... and the fat tires / wheels will go back on. )

In the mean time, bring on CX season.

... and now, after the 1x bug bite ... and also made it 10 sp :

Trying to chase down the skinny guys ... with my "big bars". lol. (I gotta cut them down.)

I am not so sure about those big bars either. Most everyone says that wide bars are better, on 29ers [fat bikes etc] and I keep trying and I am not so sure I like them.
