EXTREME FAT TIRE BICYCLE

I’ve wanted to build a custom bicycle for many years. I started wondering how fat of a tire I could accommodate on a bicycle. I had seen pictures of the Hanebrink Technologies extreme terrain bicycle, but wanted something still more extreme. The problem I considered was one of drive train alignment. With the fat tire, the chain had to shift too far outside of the normal bottom bracket to rear wheel alignment, in order to clear the tire width. I also wanted to make this work with gears, as I new the large tire would weigh a lot. Originally I wanted to spoke up a fat tire rim with a standard bicycle hub, but this proved impossible due the the small rim size with the large tire.

    What I find really remarkable that this guy bougth a welder and learnt welding just for this project. Thats the real spirit.

    Great bike, but it looks like it takes an awful lot of effort just to pedal on flat land, much less climb a hill. Have you ridden it further than a mile?
