Hey there, what are your guys' thoughts on these? Ascend Moher Fat Bike | Cabela's (cabelas.com)
5” tire is quite a bit lol then the skinny seat and the cheesy handle bars would be a deal breaker for me. Though the drive system seems to be pretty stoutHey there, what are your guys' thoughts on these? Ascend Moher Fat Bike | Cabela's (cabelas.com)
Meh. I think the fat bike is overrated. I've been hitting my local gamelands hard with my 2.4 in tire mtb and it's perfect. Good mix of traction and speed. Fat bikes are slow and heavy. Never heard of that brand and on a personal note wouldn't give Cabela's a cent of my moneyHey there, what are your guys' thoughts on these? Ascend Moher Fat Bike | Cabela's (cabelas.com)
I know I do not like Cabelas anymore either but was wondering because it looks like it may be a QuietKat "economy" brand or something. I have a Felt 29N regular mountain bike and love it but not sure how it would do in snow.Meh. I think the fat bike is overrated.

I'm putting these on come November. I had studded tires on my measly 700cc road bike and it was insane how well that went through the snow and ice. Those on a 29nr are on another level. https://www.westernbikeworks.com/product/45nrth-wrathchild-trail-29-x-26-studded-tireI know I do not like Cabelas anymore either but was wondering because it looks like it may be a QuietKat "economy" brand or something.

My bikes has 4 inch tires and I don't have any trouble with it feeling heavy or slow. But it's a Bakcou ebike with a 1000 watt Ultra Mid-drive motor. I'm to old and need help peddling with my bad back and hips.Meh. I think the fat bike is overrated. I've been hitting my local gamelands hard with my 2.4 in tire mtb and it's perfect.

Well you said it an 1000 watt motor isnt comparable to a normal leg powered bike. If your bike is an ebike fat tire is definitely the way to goMy bikes has 4 inch tires and I don't have any trouble with it feeling heavy or slow.

Mines 4” tires and not an e bike and it’s not much tougher than a standard tire bike lol and I’m not in the greatest of physical shapeWell you said it an 1000 watt motor isnt comparable to a normal leg powered bike. If your bike is an ebike fat tire is definitely the way to go
I beg to differ. I have both (neither are e-bikes). I have a rigid fatty and a long travel enduro style 29er with a 2.4 maxxis front/2.3 rear. I ride the fatty almost exclusively. It's so much fun, it tractors over everything. Really not any slower either on anything except the real rough stuff. Very confidence inspiring. What people don't realize about fatbikes is how well they sustain momentum with that big tire 'an object in motion tends to remain in motion'. More than makes up for the weight difference. I have done 80 mile trail bikepacking trips on my fatbike.Meh. I think the fat bike is overrated. I've been hitting my local gamelands hard with my 2.4 in tire mtb and it's perfect.

I prefer fat tires over standard. They will go over alot of stuff on the trail with no problem. I do like a lower psi of around 8-10.
Nice Buck!I use a MTN bike, have for a couple years. I've hauled 3 doe, 2 buck, a bear and all my trail cameras in and out of the mtn with it. I personally prefer a fat tire. They will roll over everything. I have it setup specifically for hunting and scouting with a rear rack, trailer, accessory bags, a click stand, small medical kit, extra straps, and a bow holder. The best bow holder mounts have been the All Rite Pack Rack Plus, I've tried quite a few and they are hands down my favorite. I also use a 3D camo blind material to conceal it while I'm hunting and keep it stored on the rear rack in a Tethrd Predator pack. Only because I had it laying around, turns out it's pretty useful and works perfect for that. I did buy all of the gear before the pandemic and unfortunately prices of bikes have gone way up. The trailer is a Rambo and the price on that now is almost 3 times what I paid. I would suggest looking for used stuff but even that is pricey too.

What bow mount is that?
Mine are from MorrisMart (Bass Pro). Kolpin maybe.Looking for recommendations on mounts for bow on front handlebar. It’s mainly for my longbow so as long as it attaches in two places and has a V of some sort it should work well since the bow is so light.
I've gone through several so far and my favorite and current are All Rite Products Pack Rack Plus Model PRP1. I've been using them since 2020 and they are still holding tight and offer tons of adjustability.Looking for recommendations on mounts for bow on front handlebar.
