fbrft..an incurrable disease?

[sylus]

I have to admit being closer to 18 stone than 8 and tall with it at 6ft 3

now despite my love of mountain bikes I often feel that the fbrft disease is ruining my enjoyment

despite running front and back tyres up to max inflation..I sit on it..front tyre rock hard and back looks flatter than my tummy used to be..back in the day...during the war

I seem to be suffering from fbrft..fat bas***d rear flat tyre syndrome

without going 700 bike route and super high pressure skinnys is there a cure for this disabilitating disease?

and no..losing weight is not an option, I like my bacon sarnies

no fat bas***d's were harmed in making this post

These days a flat back tyre us the norm, something to do with traction. Last week I tried a bike running tubeless tyres. With my bulk it was like running on just the rims.

Pump your rectum full of helium just before you ride- works a treat.

I think it can be used to your advantage i.e. No point buying a Manitou, Pace or a Fat Chance (sic) you'll just break them. Therefore it keeps the bike buying sensible and practical and out of the realms of dream-bikes.





That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

just loose the pressure in the front to even them out and run fatter tyres.

Reki..improved traction...I hadn't thought of that..feels like a jelly though slippery sliding

lys..tried that once..had wind ever since..and now people collar me to blow up party balloons

south..again another positive..never having to look for elastomers or insist the front of my bike must be carbon

fluff..good thinking..a new style a lowmountain called be a new whole style

I wouldn't worry too much about the max on the tyre. Us tandemists regularly have this problem, and we just inflate until the tyre shape is right. Clearly you don't want to do this with cheap tyres, and if you are really particular, then overinflate first to check it doesn't fail.

Im thin and lightweight ,so constantly lose traction.
Buy a full sus with fatbastard springs and your problems are solved

You can then pump that tyre up really hard

Try shopping around for different tyres, too - one with a less supple casing might not have quite so bad a problem at a given PSI compared with a quite supple tyre (this is certainly true in some cases for road and cyclocross rubber, may well be for MTBs too).
