My new summer bike arrived and is being assembled by my LBS. Its a Trek Fuel EX 9.8 with the xt spec option, my first ever carbon bike!
getting kinda jealous of the fat bike pictures. After seeing my ortho 3x in the past few weeks my Fatbike is heading off to a new owner this weekend. My knees just can’t do the wider q-factor and the ortho recommended I stop before I make it worse. So guess I’m just going to have to wait for the snow to stop so I can get back out on the gravel bike.
Check out some of the Elecra bikes, the pedals are about 6 inches forward compared to regular bikes and they are great for the knees and back, changed my life when I started biking on them about 8 years ago, last year I got one (used) with fat tires ( Fat i O) tires and added a honda motor to assist on long ridesgetting kinda jealous of the fat bike pictures.

^^^ Are those at least 2.6 tires?
You know, because this is the fat bike forum.
Looks like a blast!
Would a bike with 177 mm rear spacing (rather than the more standard 197) maybe come packaged with a narrower crankset and q?
Kona Wozo for instance.
