>>891587>How is that retarded? A lot of people ride old steel 10 speeds with 3lb frame pumps, 5lb locks and panniers.Pumps and locks are not part of a bikes weight, and it could be argued that panniers aren't either (the bags at least, the racks would be). Even then, that is not representative of most road bikes on /n/.
> I'm not pulling these fat bike weights out of my ass that's just the way it is.The only weight you've given is for your own bike, and I believe you with that one.
>I guess it's different in the UK.The selection isn't as vast. We actually have less of the cheap heavy ones though, there are still plenty of the more expensive ones available. However that doesn't change the fact that the average fat bike is more than 30 pounds, to get lighter than that you need to pay more and specifically choose lighter parts or just get lucky with choices.
>>891600With snow it depends on the type. If it's fresh then the narrow tyres could potentially be better as they'll cut through the snow and grip the ground underneath instead of sliding around on top of the snow. For harder packed stuff wider tyres could be better.
