Hi! Have you tried the 27.5 x 2.8 Terrene McFly? I was curious if you had some review or experience with that tire compared to others. Love the channel. Cheers!

Yes, Colorado, the modern day frontier state.

You live in Minnesota do you not?

I hope to have a lauf fork on my newly purchased fat tire bike here in the very near future. Exciting! 😱

Which front suspension option will you be installing on your fat tire ride? 🤷🏼‍♂️ 🚴🏼🚴🏼🚴🏼🫡

Will the new 24 x 6.2 wheel /tire fit the ICT front fork

Bolt on a Bosch motor and I'm in!

Replacement tires are $150! Yikes, more than my car!

I would consider using it to tackle the Canning Stock Route, but it’s just too heavy

What about the Gravity fat bikes from Bikes Direct? I got one for $500, did minor upgrades and I'm enjoying it a lot. Seems like it would be worth a review.

Thank you, that is what i figured. I like the Jones bars because of the upright, higher hand position.

And how do these Shirley bars compare with the Jones bars?🤷🏼‍♂️

Anything new in fat biking is awesome. I ride mine all year round and that’s with a garage full of options. Fat is fun. Fat is fast.

How do you feel about the fat caad 1 lefty?

There will always be a place in my heart for Pinarello. I'm a former "roadie," starting out roughly around '83 or '84 after acquiring a used SR. Purchased my first (of two) Pinarello Montello 85 road bike in 1985, a year after Alexi Grewal won the Road Race in the '84 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. Around 2004 (2005?) I considered getting Pinarello's magnesium frame DOGMA. A bike shop in Vegas let me test ride one.....AMAZING bike!!! Felt like nothing underneath me, only a set of wheels to maintain contact with the tarmac and a set of bars to steer it. Alas, I couldn't bring myself to justify the $12,000 to $13,000 price tag. These days I'm planning to get a Fat Tire Bike. Never even rose a MTB 'til a few weeks ago, the gracious guys at the local Trek shop let test ride a Roscoe 7. Even so, I'm set on acquiring a Fat Bike, planning on doing some bikepacking. I hadn't been on a bike in several years due to a severe knee injury, it felt great to get back on the pedals. The challenge I'm finding here in far, far, West Texas is the lack of Fat Bikes. I'm looking at everything from the Surly ICT, the Salsa Heydey, the Rocky Mountain A10 & A20, the Norco Bigfoot 2 & Bigfoot 3, and even the Mongoose Argus Comp 26 (if for no other reason than it is the easiest Fat Bike for me to obtain without having to drive a significant distance.....it can be shipped directly to me). One local shop thinks they may be able to order a new Heydey through their distributor. I'm checking on other potential options as well. Unfortunately, Pinarello doesn't offer a Fat Bike, otherwise I'd likely consider it. Though, when the family sold the brand off to LVMH several years ago I figured the days of any potential "affordable"(?) Pinarello are a thing of the past. Even so, never hurts to look at the beautiful machines Pinarello produces. VIVA la Pinarello!!!

The area code for Alaska is 9:ZERO:7 🤔

Fabric Scoop Shallow race is was comfy, but it got harsh during the winter, especially in sub zero temps, horrible in -10C. But it feels harsher now, already retired one, now I need to retire nr2.

Bro, tell Surly to put the 6.2 tires and rims up for sale separately. When that happens, we can make our own custom bikes.

Im dialing an OG Moonie I scored for longer biking excursions. I’ve stoped riding my road bikes over the years so that I can get to more peace and serenity on trails. The Moonie handles the sandy and muddy trails in Northern Florida so well that I can’t imagine riding on a bike with a narrower tire . This new Moonie looks like a beast but I’m sure it’s fun to ride, and would be perfect for long adventures down the beach….

😵‍💫🚴🏼🚴🏼🚴🏼

I like the choices of wheel / tire combos for this bike, I do wonder if the pinion gearbox uses the same cabinet / mount as the pinion MGU.

Trek hard trails have terrible geometry, commuters disguised as a mountain bikes, you would be better off with a Walmart mongoose with a couple upgrades. Look at the bottom bracket on that bike, it's practically already dragging on the ground, what are you going to do with that, other than break your foot on a rock, nothing.

Trek AKA lord of the gimmick😅

Hi i have a question for you but how to reach you out ?

For this price i have to sell my kidney

If this is as legit as I think. Paint it grey or black and I'm all in. Bring the omni-terra..

I'm with Mike Curiak, count the wrinkles for sand and snow riding pressure. My Surly Bud/Lou were placed into service in 2014. Still look like new and they have high mileage. There is some good trails up here at 7.000' elevation. Tubeless is great as long as the tire doesn't unseat! My midfAt is no different, adjust pressure until a couple slight wrinkles appear in the sidewalls. That's 120 TPI tire for ya! 120 TPI rolls far better at low pressure than does a 27 or 33 TPI. All day, every day. I gave a brand new pair of Nobby Nic 3.0's away because the snakeskin version was horrible at a reasonable riding pressure at any time of year. The Nobby 3.0 Performance tire works like magic in comparison, since it is stupid supple and my stick figure physique gets along with them. Three plussers wear either Rocket Ron Liteskin or Nobby 3.0's. The Mayor wears Bud/Lou or Jumbo Jim Liteskin 4.8's. I get along really well with high TPI tires at moderately low pressures since I prefer traction to drift biking or being a carrom.

Id like it for a touring fatbbike.hope that they Will Come oyut with studded tiers and fenders for it!

Ok i'm going to be that guy. If ever a bike ever needed to have a pedelec option, this is it. <puts on flame proof suit>

Super fat!

They discontinued the procaliber 9.5 which is unfortunate because the seats aren’t quick release.

Trek is really good at adding unnecessary holes.

Hi what make is your saddle on your procal ?

Always bringing the cohesive overview to us! Thanks Tommy!! @surly should lend you one for a more in-depth RIDE review!!!!

I just sold my OG Moonlander and bought an ICT. I do miss the ride of the ML. I used it for every type of riding. Snow, sand, downhill, single track…..you name it. It was way more forgiving than the ICT but the ICT handles better.

I've already ordered mine. I will be using it for bikepacking. I will likely get a 26-inch wheelset and run Schwalbe Jumbo Jim 4.0 tires, depending on the rolling resistance of the Surly Melinda. I already bikepack on my Surly Ice Cream Truck.

Good morning, just ordered this weekend a 9.5 Gen 3! Can I install the Judy Gold on a 2019 Rockhopper? Thank you!

First thing wrong with it, is the price! WT

You never know, maybe theyre onto something here? I love my old Moonlander, curious to see some reviews soon.

Tommy, thanks so much for featuring this bike and for your thoughtful insights. Reading some of the other responses, I agree it is a niche bike. I love my ICT and haven’t come across anything it couldn’t traverse, well, within reason. In your video you pointed out that the 2.0 may be an option for long-term bikepacking. I have never experienced an ebike, nor do I know anything about them. That being said. Would it make sense for this bike to include that feature? Yes, it would add to the already substantial weight. But proportionally, it wouldn’t have as much of an impact as on a lighter bike. I would appreciate your thoughts, or thoughts from folks with ebike experience. Thank you.

Adding a dropper to my 2020 Specialized Fatboy was the best thing i couldve done. I want to try some Alt bars on it soon.

Fatbike innovation has been practically non-existent. It is exciting to see Surly bring a new fattie to market. I'd love to give it a whirl. Thanks for the update.

I don't plan on getting one but I think it's super badass definitely rigged for giant Cross Alaska touring Etc

Obviously this bike won't cover as much real estate at a regular fat bike in ideal conditions. Oftentimes our multi-use trails become pock marked by hikers, don't get groomed often and are less than ideal in the winter. I'm betting this design will cope much better with that.

I will do test. 🫡

Suggest to Surly that they lend you one for your up coming pacific coast beach excursion. 🤷🏼‍♂️🚴🏼🚴🏼🚴🏼
