Hi, Algorithm, Al’s vid was a bit of cheerfulness in an otherwise bad news week, and you’ve gotta admire the Cute Thief for trekking over hostile terrain to fulfil his master’s requests when clearly he didn’t like walking in Scottish snow!
I have a set of those LightBicycle Fat Tyre rims. They are fantastic. After 6 months of hard riding on all sorts of rocky or muddy or rooty terrain, they remain absolutely true. They are strong enough to handle some really big hits. When I ordered them from China I was blown away by the excellent service and quick turnaround from the wonderful staff at LightBicycle. They were such lovely people to deal with. LightBicycle - I really recommend them.
@@Ali_Clarkson I would love to know the lauf engineers reaction to you bouncing around a fatbike on its front wheel like that lol...I'm sure they're proud of their work.
Looking forward to a review of the fork. Hard to imagine a leaf spring providing any damping. At the same time it might provide some nice pre-load if its just a spring.
Leaf springs have a huge level of damping. What they don't have is small size or weight... unless you make them out of carbon and put them on a bike. The lauf fork is dead weird looking... but it works fine.
@@weareallbeingwatched4602 interesting. What keeps them from oscillating like a coil spring? Seems like the compression and rebound damping would always be the same and non adjustable. I assume the lauf had that figured out but its not obvious how.
@@dansacco1964 internal friction, and/or the leaves rubbing on each other (as on a lorry or truck). Leaf springs don't have adjustable dampers... well... apart from on racing trucks / jeeps, where it is not uncommon to run gas dampers retrofitted to leaf springs.
with fat bike tires, once you gorilla tape and seat the bead with a tube, take the tube out and lay the wheel on a 5 gallon bucket with the open bead facing down. Gravity will bring the tire bead towards the rim edge and allow it to seal up much easier. Have done dozens of different rim and tire combos with this method and it works 100% of the time. cheers!
Street trials on the fat bike now there is a video idea Would be awesome to see that Scotland is probably the only place in uk that you can get snow all year around specially in the highlands lol
i've been rocking fat bike setup for past 20 years on my hucker, 3.0 gazzaloddi, super monsters. Fat bike trend was old news to us old folk even when it was "new" 😂
You can try taking out the valve core too for faster airflow! Impressed by your bike mechanic skills, I still am scared to try wheel building! Cool bike!!
I would’ve tried that but there was just so much space between the beads I don’t think my small compressor had enough flow to inflate it even without the cores
One year ago, I also bought a Fat Bike. It´s a fully with 24"x 4" wheels. I changed the breaking disks, with 160 mm, they was to small. I mounted 200 mm disks, the biggest I could find in shop. Thats why, the bike weights 30 kilos. Myselfe weights 90 kilos, so for me it is importante to can stop the bike safely and quickly. Greetings from Germany.
Great build! Only thing I'd change is the tyres. Jumbo Jim's if you want low rolling resistance. Maxxis minions if you want to hit the trails. 45nrth Dillinger 4s or Terrene cake eaters for the snow.
Hey man, great video. I have the same Fatbike, but with the standard Carbon fork ( Rigid ). It works great. In 5 years only had to replace the BB. No other bother at all. I ride mine everywhere, (all be it not to the same skill as you.). 50+ greenway miles, or drop the tire pressures and do the local trail centres. It’s way more versatile than people think.
Looking forward to seeing how it will cope with your riding. Ive had some troubles with the on-one fatty frames rear dropouts with the quick release slipping.
Id really like to see a video of what you can do with the Hope back Hub pawl engagement. I have Hope hubs ;) plus there are no videos on it anywhere on utube Those Pinnd pedals look sweet.
Hi Ali! Great video! Really enjoyed watching it as all your other bike builds :) Little Tip for sesting a tubeless tire: You can take out the valve core so you have way more airflow! Seating a stubborn tire will be much easier Cheers! :)
Hi! Glad you enjoyed it :) don’t worry I know about the valve core trick, I could just tell that my compressor didn’t have enough power to get this tyre inflated, it was just too baggy but thanks for the help 👍🏻
Outrageous… Can’t wait to see you beast it!!! Definitely want to know how much pawl to file off too, can’t believe I never thought of that before 🤦🏻♂️ Thank you grand master 🙏👊
Really stoked to see you build up a fat bike for trials. I’ve been riding trials on mine for a few years and really enjoy it. Totally different style of riding. Can’t wait to see what you get up too.
Even though it’s simple stuff in the garden, I just can’t get used to seeing you without a lid, I feel naked without mine! It’s like watching an early 90’s bmx video. Anyway, love the bike build videos, and super interested in the hub mods and also that fork.
When I went tubeless with some 3.8s, I ran some Paracord around the circumference of the tire and kind of cinched it tight. This pushed the beads tighter to the rim and closer to the sides. Bit of sealant and they popped right into place.
Yeahhhh!!! Now i'm very much interested in a review of that fork!!! I ride a little smaler one on my 29er mtb...so i guess the suppleness of this one must be even greater!!! ...and i love the look of that bike!!!
Not sure if I’ll do a full review but first impressions are that it feels amazing for small bump sensitivity and would be perfect for trekking or non aggressive riding. It doesn’t seem to have too much ramp up progression though and bottoms out easily if ridden hard.
Yeah, that all true...you can adjust the progression a bit by choosing the grade of the springs but you have to choose it when you get that fork. But think before you do!!! And since i'm not that young anymore and my riding is not that progrssive anymore i'm very happy with that fork. And I just ride it like an stiff fork and so I get along very well even on some rooty singletrails. Sometimes you just have to play a little with the tires/tire pressure. But maintainence is a pure joy!!!
Absolutely beautiful bike build, the fork looks amazing with all the other quality parts, you’ll probably be using this bike much more than you think the grip and stability of a fat bike is outstanding which makes it loads of fun. Great vid and thanks for sharing 😉👍👍👍👍👍👍
woow! what an editing! thank you Ali for gave us some good vibes through that hard times. Saw some trial and trail riding from one slavic guy Vladimir Pulyaevskii, and that was amazing! both traction on vertical cliffs and style he did street riding. Very inspiring to see more content! good luck!
Great video and a really top quality build. Love seeing a bike mechanic that actually does his own wheels. I started playing with fat bikes 6 or 7 years ago and at this point will always have a few in the garage. My daily driver is a Salasa XO1 Bucksaw and I love it. Haven't had much urge to go back to a 2.35" wide tire.
Awesome bike actually, I like out there designs and bikes that make a statement. Just between us, put helium in those balloon tyres for an edge in the comp. ;)
Awesome ! I've only ridden one once, but it was so fun. Shame it is so hard to find a fatty in XL for us larger gents... Cant wait to see you ride some mtb trails on it, even in the summer time. Although you may want knobbier tyres !!
Now that's an interesting build for you Ali and you're 100% right, that fork is "Marmite" :-D Would be cool to try and entre it into the Trials comp, but not sure how those tyres would hold up and the fork seems to maybe be a bit light on spring rate for you. One thing I don't get, is why manufacturers don't drill fat bike rims with staggered holes to reduce the spoke angles, would help build much stronger wheels I'd think.
Don’t worry, after some advice on tyres and forks I’ve sent the Cute Thief out on another adventure to replace these, should make it a bit better off-road and for the comp. Spoke-wise. Because this is a carbon rim you can make it double walled without much of a weight penalty. I think most alloy fat rims are single wall to save weight. The down side of single walled rims is that they’re just not as stiff/supported, the offset spokes give the extra support and stops the rim from flopping about. The only downside to offset spokes is that (in theory) they make a slightly weaker wheel as you’re reducing the triangulation of the spokes. An offset pattern starts to become more of a rectangle and rectangles aren’t as strong as triangles. Because the double wall LB rim is stiffer you can keep the triangulation of the spokes and still have a rim that’s stiff enough even without any support…plus it makes finding spoke lengths a lot easier to calculate
Interested to see what tyres and fork you end up with, will definitely be keeping a look out for that vid. Get the whole triangle thing, but since the hubs are so wide, I'd figure with normal straight drilling the angles would be significantly more, so offsetting them would bring them back to normalish angles :-\
if you cant get a tube less tyer on to a rim use the rope and spaner method put tyer on rim put rope round rim( on top of tyer) put rench between rope and tyer (dosent have to be wrench any long thin thing will do) twist wrench and add air (twisting the wrench to tention the rope)
I’d definitely change the fork. I think it looks super weird. Bike seems a really cool. I’ve never had a bike with great brakes. I’ve never even had a bike with disc brakes lol. One day i hope to have a bike that brakes anywhere close to this fat bike
When you made the joke about not building a unicycle it got me thinking it would be awesome to see a few episodes where you build a trials uni and learn to ride and progress... just an idea.
Awesome build! Not sold on those tires though and would personally swap for Jumbo Jims, same dimension :D If you're happy with them go shred and good luck in trials if you bring it
@@Ali_Clarkson it's a pity because it's such a fantastic bike. The OOF was my first fatbike and suffered the dreaded frame crack, still ride my other fatty on a daily basis, a lot more smiles per ride due to the sheer lunacy of the thing. Always enjoy the videos, thanks for the great content 👍
I'd definitely have one of those Lauf forks on my 2002 DMR Switchback steelie. It has a steel bike packing fork at the moment. Rides well but a little bit of softness would be nice.

Looking forward to a review of the fork. Hard to imagine a leaf spring providing any damping. At the same time it might provide some nice pre-load if its just a spring.
The forks look really interesting, I think the fibre glass would provide good vibration resistance rather than true travel
They've been very popular for gravel bikes, so I imagine with fat tires and low pressure it'd be a pretty compliant ride
Leaf springs have a huge level of damping. What they don't have is small size or weight... unless you make them out of carbon and put them on a bike. The lauf fork is dead weird looking... but it works fine.
