Anybody sniffing BO 19 in the air?

[LeMad Hatter]

This may be a bad time and place to ask this, but I'm having a very difficult time finding wide rims. Does anyone know of a good place to order 3-5 inch (80-125mm) wide fat bike rims here in the US? Just the rims, not the complete wheel set. The only place I can find then reliably is from a place in GERMANY, and the shipping is killing me

I came across this while doing some research for the next build. Holy Shnikees Batman!!

I’m torn between trying to finally build something with fenders or just throwing all these fenders in the next scrap load

Just from the looks of it, without clicking on the link, that looks like a build by the legendary @fordsnake .

Saw thes on Ebay. Probably getting a pair. They will be good for the back on one of my builds and have 29x3's for the front.

My pleasure!

I prob won’t be joining the build off as a builder and I don’t want to use the word “sponsor” but I have been throwing around ideas on paper for a custom sticker pack for the winners again!

AND Participant’s as well!

@ind-chuckz got anything?

Anyone have a good source for 24x3.0 tires? I have found some with whitewalls but I'd like creme if I could find them. They are available in Germany but shipping is close to $200, so no-go.

If anyone has them he will see him more on market place.

Check with @ind-chuckz . I am sure he can source them for you.

I keep trying to get @fordsnake to build again, but he is having too much fun living in Brazil now.

Best source is to score a used Felt cruiser with Thick Bricks
