In other fatbike news, just ordered some hubs to build up a wheelset for running some 27.5 x 2.3" slicks. Already got the rims...

I wonder what level lawyers (present company excluded) and used car salesmen will get.

Some schools are starting in two weeks.
fun fact: No school I attended ever had air conditioning until high school and then it was just one building out of many. Sometimes the teachers would turn off the lights as if it would help.
We also had dress code until my senior year. No jeans, no facial hair, no hair touching your ears, and girls had to wear dresses.

I'm not a real mountain biker. Fat bike can do snow and single track. One bike to rule them all, unless you are a real mountain biker. It's not fast, but it's fun.

I'm sure it's a blast in the snow. I used to ride an old Trek hardtail in the snow and I loved it. Had to be the right kind of snow, though. If it got too slushy forget it.

I don't think any decision has been made by the school district here yet. Only 650,000 students in LA Unified. All of my schooling was with that district.
fun fact: No school I attended ever had air conditioning until high school and then it was just one building out of many. Sometimes the teachers would turn off the lights as if it would help.
We also had dress code until my senior year. No jeans, no facial hair, no hair touching your ears, and girls had to wear dresses.

Full disclosure:
In PA, it was only bad the first week or two at the beginning and end of the year.
This was before your fellow Tennessean Al Gore invented the internet, global warming and inconvenient truths.

I have no idea how I survived school sans-AC in NC. May had to have hurt just a little.

Stan's Sentry for rims.

Dunno about tires yet really.
I'll probably lace some 26er fat rims to those hubs if/when we get back close to some snow.
