Finally caved after following my buddies last week on my mountain bike for miles while they rolled along not breaking a sweat. I was gonna go with a rambo "pursuit" but figured I could build something better for around the same price or less. Everything is being delivered next week with the exception of the battery (being built to order and takes 2-3 weeks apparently). I'll try to document the build so people can learn from all my goof ups. There will be many im sure.
Here's what I ordered:
1. Framed Minnesota fat bike $698 free shipping from framed.
2. BBSHD 100mm bottom bracket with a 500c display from Johnnynerdout.com
3. Luna mighty mini 30t chainring
4. Bicycle Motor Works 52v 17.5 aH battery with LG MJ1 cells. And their cage rack to secure it down.
Only thing I'm worried about is the chainring lining up with the cassette. I am going to try some different things and rework the cassette to try and line up my granny gear better first if its wacky . If that doesn't work I'll order a 42t lekkie and new chain. But I really want the smaller chainring for hills. Probably not gonna be built in time for this season but I think it will be great for shed hunting and turkey.
