  Weekly Dose of Fat for Friday, July 25th, 2014. Show number 14.
• 0:05
  [upbeat music] From the Fat Bike Radio Studios in the beer capital of America, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, please welcome your hosts of the Weekly Dose of Fat, Sven and Gomez.
• 0:37
  Bienvenidos, amigos. This is your Uncle Gomez right here in Jeffrey Dahmer's backyard, with everyone's favorite fat bike ventriloquist, Sven Hammer. That's right.
• 0:47
  And with us for color commentary and his encyclopedic knowledge of beer is His Airness, Sir Colin Ford. Hey-o. And the Fatbike.com orchestra, conducted today by Mr.
• 1:00
  Crace Daisy, owner and operator of the posh and fabulous Zion Cyclery, just across the border down I31. Hey, guys. [upbeat music] The sponsor of Fat Bike Radio's Weekly Dose of Fat is Surly Bikes.
• 1:17
  This week's show is sponsored by the Surly Ice Cream Truck Ops. You can learn more about the Ice Cream Truck Ops and Surly's entire line of sweet-riding steel bikes at surlybikes.com.
• 1:30
  You can find the weekly dose, along with all Fat Bike Radio programming, on iTunes. And look for us on Facebook, where we just topped 11,000 likes, and the mystery of all universes, Twitter. It goes to 11,000. Yeah.
• 1:50
  This week Greg is out on the road driving back from his trip out west, but Colin and I are getting all indigenous with New Glarus Brewing's Double. Yeah.
• 1:59
  Since I'm driving down I-70 today, I did my local beer sampling last night in Lucas, Kansas at my friend Jack's house with a few cans of Tallgrass Brewing Company's Buffalo Sweat. Nice. What's that, uh...
• 2:11
  Did you guys pop one yet? Yeah, we did. I'm sipping it slowly. It's delicious. The color is, uh, a nice medium brown, caramely color. The head is off-white. Nose,
• 2:29
  the nose is, uh, very much of wheat. Of, and is, is typical of Belgian-style beers. They use a lot of wheat in their beers with a turbid mash and a long boil sometimes. Um...
• 2:39
  [bag rustling] [laughs] What style beer is that, Colin? I, I either didn't catch it or, uh, uh- It's a... The style is a Belgian double. Okay. Which means it's a darker, stronger Belgian ale. There you go. Not, not sour
• 2:57
  with the, the Belgian yeast, which is very unique to that region. Uh- Sounds good. So the cool, the cool thing about this beer right now as I'm drinking it [bottle clinks] is the nose is very, like, very light bread.
• 3:09
  You smell, like, a, a bread, you know? And you take a sip [sips] and it's very, um, dark caramel, toffee, and you can tell they boiled it a long time. It's got kind of that scorched taste that
• 3:27
  is, you know, very uncharacteristic of the nose. It's like the nose tells you one thing and the taste tells you another. Uh- Very good. It's- Sounds good... no imperfections.
• 3:39
  Fantastic job, New Glarus Brewing Company, as always. Yeah. Yeah. They do a good job on pretty much every beer they do. They definitely hold a high standard. Um- All right...
• 3:50
  it's, it's tough to, it's tough to work for a competitor of them, 'cause I love everything they do. [laughs] Like, I mean, like, it... You know, Spotted Cow is just whatever, but, like, all their specialty stuff is
• 4:01
  amazing, so. S- super. Well, the, uh, Buffalo Sweat is, uh, an oatmeal cream stout, and I thought it was really good. It's, uh, it's sweeter than I was kind of expecting, but, uh, had a lot of malt to it.
• 4:16
  And, uh, it's a local company down here in Kansas, so I would, uh, recommend it if you're in the area, for sure. I don't know how far outside the local- They distribute-... neighborhood you can- They distribute very far.
• 4:27
  They're available in a lot of spots Oh, good. Well, everybody sh- should give it a try then- Yeah... because it's good stuff. It's, uh, I, I, I enjoyed it, and topped it off with a whiskey and I was a very happy guy.
• 4:37
  Tallgrass Brewing Company, also famous for Eight Bit Pale Ale and the Velvet Rooster, uh, Belgian triple, I believe. Yeah. That- Very-...
• 4:48
  that beer, my uncle really likes to drink the Velvet Rooster 'cause it's, like, 9% and it comes in a tall boy can and he drinks, like, a bunch of them. [laughs] So yeah, you get the idea.
• 5:01
  Coming up next, Sven tells us about the rest of his adventures from Colorado's Front Range and his visit out to Saddle Drive at Snowbasin in Utah. Hi. I'm Adam. And I'm Steve.
• 5:15
  And we're the guys that bring you Borealis Fat Bikes. Borealis is the industry leader in carbon fat frames and components.
• 5:21
  And we designed our new Borealis Echo frame to work perfectly with the RockShox Bluto fork, and we hope you get to try one soon. Check us out and all of our products at borealisbikes.com.
• 5:30
  And please visit us at one of our upcoming demo events for free rides and to drink some beer. Hi. This is Paul Ellis from PED Cycling, and our company dogs listen to Sven and Gomez on Fat Bike Radio.
• 5:40
  These dogs howl at Gomez like he's our mailman. You're listening to Fat Bike Radio. You're about to get your weekly dose of fat on Fat Bike Radio.
• 5:59
  Everybody listen up. Greg's gonna lay some knowledge on you now Oh, all right.
• 6:05
  Well, I was, uh, finished up my trip on the Front Range at the end of the week last week with a visit to a couple of more, uh, manufacturers or slash distributors out in Colorado Springs.
• 6:15
  Stopped in at Borealis Bikes, and, uh, we'll have a pretty good story on that. Went to a race the following day that had a fat bike class in it.
• 6:23
  Also saw John Severson from Colorado Specialty Velo, and got a chance to ride the Puffin and the, uh, 29+ bike that Singular makes as well on his urban single track trail that they're working on in Colorado Springs, and that was a pretty good time.
• 6:40
  After that, I took a plane over to Utah and went to the QBP SaddleRide event where they introduced a couple of new bikes. Had all of the QBP brands, Surly, Salsa, Cogburn.
• 6:54
  There was probably 50% of the bikes up there were fat bikes, so they were definitely trying to get people out on them. And the, the new stuff that I checked out, one of the new bikes was the Salsa Bucksaw.
• 7:05
  That's their new full suspension bike. Uh, if you remember right, they've been working on a full suspension bike for some time now.
• 7:13
  This is a totally redesigned version with a split pivot from Dave Weagle and a Bluto up front. And, uh, took them a while to get it to market, but I think they did a good job in waiting.
• 7:23
  If they would've introduced a full suspension frame earlier, there wouldn't have been a fat bike fork to go with it anyway that would've been suitable.
• 7:30
  So, uh, the Bluto coming out made it possible for them to kind of finish the design up, and, uh, it really rides great. Um, I can't make it go fast enough to make it do anything really obnoxious to me.
• 7:41
  I'm sure there's guys that can ride it way faster and get in way more over their head than I would, and it would come back and, and beg for more.
• 7:47
  So I think it's something that's gonna appeal to a, definitely a certain type of rider. It's an expensive bike, though. Really expensive. Yep. [laughs] And it's, only parts of it are carbon at this point, so, uh- Oh...
• 8:01
  you still have an, you still have an aluminum front triangle. And, uh, you know, there's, there's room for more money down the road if they decide to make a carbon version.
• 8:09
  Um, the w- the, the real surprise of the show, uh, we didn't even hear about it until a day before the event, is the new Salsa Blackborow, which is their five-inch platform fat bike, 196 rear end, 150 front end.
• 8:23
  It was a really... First of all, it was a surprise, but getting on it was also a surprise. They kind of positioned it as an expedition fat bike, but it's really fun to ride. It's got a shorter stay than you'd expect.
• 8:35
  It's got a little bend in the seat tube to move that big five-inch tire forward. Oh, it does. And, uh, yeah, it's, it's really, you know, it's a really fun bike. I was, like I said, I was surprised.
• 8:45
  I had just ridden the Ice Cream Truck right before it, and man, the Ice Cream Truck really cruises down the wide open trails and just, I mean, it gives you so much confidence to go fast.
• 8:56
  Whereas the, the Blackborow to me was a little bit more playful in the twisties, and, uh, I, I... It was, basically, it was my favorite bike to ride at the event.
• 9:05
  Um, so- So that's made of, that's made of aluminum, right, the Blackborow? It is... Yep, it's an aluminum bike. Uh, it runs Clown Shoes and the big five-inch Bud and Lou tires. Yep, good, good fun.
• 9:17
  I would recommend getting on one and checking it out. That, does that come, uh... At the show, I saw they had pictures of it single speed, but I also heard it was a dingle speed, which is something- Dingle...
• 9:28
  that, uh, is sweet, and everyone should check out dingle speeding, 'cause it's cool. Right. Yeah, the dingle speed basically runs two different gear ratios and has the same chain length.
• 9:39
  So it's simply a matter of swapping it from one set of cogs to the other to give you a lower or a higher ratio, depending on where you're riding. In, at Snowbasin, low ratio for sure.
• 9:50
  That place has got altitude all over the place and big hills. But, uh, yeah, it's gonna be an interesting one for the, uh, people that want something that's more reliable.
• 9:59
  And, uh, you know, if you're out in the middle of nowhere- Well-...
• 10:01
  you know, it's a great thing to have something that doesn't have, uh, mechanical problems like a derailleur to, to mess you up when you're 40 miles from the nearest, uh, town or whatever. Yeah. It's...
• 10:14
  I think, I think a lot of people that are gonna want this bike, though, are gonna want the, a, a five-inch bike with symmetrical 190, 150 spaced, all that stuff, that's light, you know, that's...
• 10:26
  And you can run gears on it, right? It's gonna have... It's g- It's got a derailleur hanger- Yeah... built onto it? Yeah, there, there's a version, there's a version with a two by 10 system on it- Yeah...
• 10:35
  which is the one I rode, because frankly, the hills are too big for me- Oh, man... to be a single speed hero out there. Yeah. So, uh- We rode, it had the two by 10 setup on it. Yep. Yep. Shimano. Yeah. SRAM.
• 10:46
  You know, the, the thing that struck me about the show, because of all the brands of fat bikes that QBP makes, is there's a proc- I, I mean, there's at least, if you include 29+ in the conversation, 8 or 9 or 10 different platforms now with slightly different, um, uh, angles on what f- on what kind of riding you're gonna be doing.
• 11:04
  So somebody should be able to find a fat bike that suits their riding style if they just look around a little bit.
• 11:09
  Um, they're all just focused a little bit more to optimize the platform towards a little bit better for certain types of riding.
• 11:17
  They all have the bene- the, they all have the benefit of flotation and immense traction, and then they kind of fine-tune them for whatever kind of riding somebody might wanna do from that point, so.
• 11:27
  So moving on from, uh, Salsa's new bikes, um, I was curious if... Uh, you had mentioned, uh, something to me before we recorded the show about, uh, the Singular fat bike. Did you get to ride- Right...
• 11:41
  some of those, the Puffin? Yeah, Singular Puffin. Yeah, it, it rides, it's a nice trail bike.
• 11:46
  Um, and it's a little unique in that it's got an eccentric bottom bracket, so by ch- changing where the eccentric is, you can kind of effectively change the chain stay length a little bit.
• 11:55
  Um, or you can run it single speed. The one I rode had a, had a derailleur system on it, so you can use that, uh, eccentric to actually change your chain stay length.
• 12:03
  And the, the section we rode on was just a twisty, like river bottom, urban single track trail, and I thought it did a pretty good job on that. Also, I think their 29+ is called the Rooster.
• 12:14
  Um, yep, that one I also rode, and, uh, both of them were Severson size. He's a bigger guy than I am, but I, I thought they- Oh, yeah... I thought they rode great.
• 12:23
  Um, he's importing them, and, uh, if you're interested in Singularities, he's the guy to talk to in the US now that Marty's not doing it anymore, so. Who's that again?
• 12:33
  Uh, John's- First name, address, uh, phone, username... John Severson. John Severson, Colorado, Velo Specialties. Uh, it's- I will have a link in the show notes. Also, uh, s- back, time warp back to SaddleDrive now.
• 12:47
  Uh, I've, I've seen- Mm-hmm... pictures I think through the, uh, Mountain Bike Review Forum website that Scott, a bike manufacturer, just put out a fat bike, and that thing is sexy. Did you get to see it?
• 13:06
  No. Well, SaddleDrive's a QBP only event, so Scott- It is?... wasn't there. Yeah, it's definitely- Where's Scott showing off this bike then, 'cause it's, I mean- [laughs]... it's got to be a dealer or something. Yeah.
• 13:14
  I, I heard about it at the event. I heard they were doing one, but I haven't actually seen it yet. So, uh, it's something that we should look forward to checking out.
• 13:22
  Speaking of checking out- Yeah, fat bikes, fat bikes are like rats now. They're everywhere. Or deer. [laughs] Uh, Salsa's gonna- Everybody got one... everybody taking out one this week. This week- Yeah...
• 13:32
  Specialized- Who has the clap now? Well, next week we'll be running the thing on Specialized new line. They sent us a lovely PDF for us to copy and paste into the site. [laughs] Uh- [laughs]
• 13:45
  So, the, the Puffin, what, how did that... You, you said the, you loved the Blackburrows ride. How does the Puffin compare to the Blackborrow?
• 13:53
  Well, Puffin's a four-inch platform, so a little bit different ride characteristics, but it's a playful bike, too. It's a, it's a trail geometry. Oh, got it. Comparatively.
• 14:04
  I, it's, you know, it's hard to fi- to put stuff in words. I enjoy riding bikes. These bikes ride well. I was on, uh- He was riding a size up from his size- Oh, that's right... too. And it was a little bit big.
• 14:13
  So it's, that's hard to judge. It was a little- So what do we have to do, uh, how many hand jobs do we have to give John Severson to get a test bike in a size that fits one of us?
• 14:23
  What scent, what scent lube do we have to buy? Yeah, well, uh, he's, you know, he, he's just getting ramped up. He doesn't have a lot of stock yet, but we'll get one from him.
• 14:31
  [laughs] Um, we'll get one from him in not too distant future. Uh, I can get stuff that's more Angry Andy sized, uh, 'cause that's what John would ride. So, we'll- Yeah... we'll work that one out.
• 14:42
  I mean, I know- Put it in a box and send it out here. Yep. I know we're gonna get a Salsa Bucksaw sooner than later because, uh, I talked to Mr.
• 14:50
  Mike Remer and he said he'll send us one within a couple of weeks, so I'm gonna- They should send you to, like, Arizona or to Moab to ride that so they're aware. Moab.
• 15:00
  It's not just a place- Somewhere where you can get all Huck to Billy. It's not just a place- I, I'm-... it's a command and it's a state of mind.
• 15:08
  Yeah, I, I think they do- Yeah, and they should, they should get you a state of mind where you could get all Huck to Billy- Yeah... on that shit. Like, here, try this, and then go down that hill.
• 15:19
  Yeah, it's a, it's a- So you talked, you talked, you talked and you talked about Salsa. How about that other Q brand, Surly? You know, those sponsors- Surly, uh-... of our radio show...
• 15:28
  right, s- [laughs] sponsor of our radio show. Surly, we- Hey, how about the, the, the Ops version? You said you rode one- Yeah... and, uh- Right, that's-...
• 15:36
  during, during rehearsal you were getting all, all excited about it, so. Yeah, that's the new one. I mean, we knew about the Ice Cream Truck already, and the Krampus is, is, uh, pretty much what the Krampus has been.
• 15:46
  The Ops version of the Ice Cream Truck uses a Rolling Darryl rim, 82 millimeter Rolling Darryl, and Na- and Nates on it, and- And Nates. Right... yeah, it, you know, it does change the characteristics of it a little bit.
• 15:58
  It makes, to me it makes it a little- Just let me interrupt you, Greg, here. What? We're gonna have a beer stop right now. Ah, very good.
• 16:04
  I'm gonna listen to this guy try to start up this truck that's, uh, all stalled out there. Oh, there he goes. Jomas is on beer number three. This beer is like 9%. Nice. No, it's not. It's what? It's like- That's a lie...
• 16:19
  eight. It's like eight. Liar. La, da, da, da, da, da, da. Lying through my teeth. Da, da, da. Um, but the Ice Cream Truck Ops, uh, did that have a through axle on the rear as well just like the Ice Cream Truck?
• 16:35
  You know, it, it m- it's the same frame, so it, it m- I didn't really look that closely, but it must. It's the same frame. Uh, just a different- That same modular dropout that can do- Yeah...
• 16:45
  quick release or- Quick release... what's that called, Greg? Yeah. Uh, I mean, it, it rode, it rode more, uh...
• 16:52
  It was a little quicker handling, a little narrower tire, and, uh, changed the characteristic of the bike a little bit.
• 16:57
  I think somebody that lives in a twistier area and doesn't have that wide open, you know, bomber runs to do on an Ice Cream Truck may find that that four-inch tire is, is gonna suit them well.
• 17:08
  It's totally smart to make a four-inch Ice Cream Truck and a five-inch Ice Cream Truck. 'Cause God knows those rims cost enough money. You know?
• 17:15
  The, 'cause those are the two schools we got right now, soon to be 6.5 inch, 6.66 inches- That would, I would ride a 6.6-... of fat love- Yeah. [laughs]... from, who knows. Who, who does that sound like?
• 17:29
  I would sell my soul- Who could do that?... for a 6.6 inch t- 6.66 inch tire. [laughs] I mean, that's just, that's just the beer talking. Yep, I would, I would be rubbing my calves all over the place.
• 17:37
  It is one thing I noticed on the five-inch platform bikes- Mm... is that the stays are getting pretty wide back there, and when I'm- Oh, yeah...
• 17:44
  going down hills and standing on the pedals behind the saddle, you definitely are rubbing on stuff back behind the seat there. That's true. That is true. Rubbing on things behind that seat. Hey- I have size 13s...
• 17:55
  did, uh- Yeah... speaking of Surly and their ridiculousness, uh, did you, were there any Instigator sightings at- 26 plus, 29 plus... Instigators are rad bike- Three inch, four inch, five inch...
• 18:11
  100, of, of three-inch tire with 140 mil fork up front. That's pretty cool Yeah, they had the, they had the Dirt Wizards on the Instigators. I didn't actually take one out. Oh.
• 18:21
  I, I ran out of time, but a lot of people were riding them and having a good time on them it looked like. Uh, I kind- Dirt Wizards. The mythical tire. Yeah, seriously.
• 18:29
  We need to put that in one of our- So guess what, guess what we have, uh, on its way to us is, uh, we have the Maxxis 29 plus tires coming our way. Whoo. And we have the, uh, Maxxis 26x4 inch tire coming our way.
• 18:44
  Ooh, that's... Okay, sweet. And a super secret- Um-... uh, kids' 24-inch mountain bike coming to us. Yeah, you mentioned that last week on the show. That sounds pretty interesting. Well, cool.
• 18:59
  There'll be a bunch of stories from my trip on the site within the next couple of weeks here and, uh, I've written down a lot of stuff already. Great. Good to hear about it.
• 19:06
  So my thoughts will be on paper rather than flowing freely out of my mouth sitting at this rest stop here on, uh, I-70. Hey, real quick, did you hear that, uh, Schwalbe just dropped a fat bike tire? No, I was...
• 19:19
  We were discussing that too at the, uh, Saddle Ramon event, that that would be- There's rumors... something to look forward to. There were pictures of artist renderings on a bike, on, on- All right.
• 19:28
  But- But nothing c- Sorry, I'm being a loose cannon. Uh, loose cannon. [laughs] It's just a rumor, just like the 6.66- Well, you know, I mean [laughs]... inch, 120 millimeter rimmed.
• 19:39
  [laughs] For the last, uh, three years at Interbike I've been ask- asking them about it, and they went from absolutely not to, "Well, maybe." Well. So... [laughs] Maybe. Yeah. I wouldn't be surprised.
• 19:51
  And so at Interbike, are you guys gonna go out there, you, you two old, old coots? [laughs] You gonna go out to Interbike and just argue constantly? [laughs] Yeah, we're gonna... We'll be, we will be out there. We're...
• 20:03
  I worked on some, uh, some video stuff at Saddle Ramon just to kind of see how it works a little bit before we go out to Interbike and really throw ourselves right into the, the fray with the, the video stuff.
• 20:13
  There'll be a lot of- Here's my-... lot of coverage... here's my next new idea, is I get a ventriloquist doll [laughs] and the ventriloquist doll interviews people at Interbike.
• 20:25
  It's just, uh- You could get like a little re- little remote control on its head so it could nod just like, you know, "Yep. Uh-huh. Yep." [laughs] See it. Well, it, it- Oh, very good.
• 20:36
  Comet, uh, Comet- And, and if it's, if it's in- if it's inflatable you could probably get it on the plane pretty easily. No, just, just get a s- just get a sex doll and just keep taping pieces of paper to it.
• 20:45
  [laughs] No way, I'm buying this thing a ticket. It's gonna be like my alter ego. You're tuned to Fat Bike Radio.
• 20:57
  Hey, next on the show we're gonna talk to Jameson Stashel, who has been building trail and is running the Alpine Valley Time Trial this weekend, which Fatbike.com is sponsoring the fat bike category.
• 21:12
  So Jameson, welcome to the show, my man. Hey, Gomez, how's it going? Going good. We got Colin here, who's also gonna talk to you. Hey, Jameson. A- excellent. Hey, Colin.
• 21:26
  So we're here to talk about the time trial, but first I want to, uh, ask you to share the venue, Alpine Valley, uh, Ski Resort, they have a rich history of mountain biking. Why don't you tell us about that?
• 21:41
  Well, I believe the first mountain bike race at Alpine Valley was WARS race. It would've been, would've been way back in the early 2000s.
• 21:50
  It has the highest drawing WARS race ever, which for people don't know, is Wisconsin Off Road Racing Series. And then even, uh, later than that, NORBA actually held a national race here, uh, both downhill, cross country.
• 22:04
  You know, the biggest, baddest stars in the United States were here racing.
• 22:09
  And then all at once, uh, they were no longer allowed to race here and trails overgrew and came to an end, and I'm trying to reignite the passion of mountain biking here.
• 22:21
  And you've been, uh, you've been building a bunch of new trail, right? I've been building trails constantly.
• 22:28
  So far it's been one continuous trail with just shorter loops off of it, but yeah, about three hours a night and two hours on the weekend. It's turned me from a mountain biker- You're-...
• 22:39
  to a trail builder, but I'm loving it. You and Butch, man, just relentless trail building all the time. Yeah. Yep.
• 22:48
  He's like the Michelangelo and you're like the, uh, Leonardo da Vinci of trail building in the great southeastern Wisconsin trail renaissance. [laughs] So, uh- Yeah, you know, we have...
• 23:01
  Butch, Butch and I built trails together out at, uh, Kettles for several years, and now we have our own projects going and built similar trail styles. A little bit different.
• 23:11
  We have different topo to work with, so- Well, the- We'll both have everywhere we build great trails... the description I keep on hearing about your trail is flowy, so which is nice to hear. Ooh.
• 23:21
  So, and I, and I know that you come from that, uh, that motocross background where you just wanna- Get... Pin it. [laughs] Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
• 23:31
  So listen, the real reason that we wanted to get you on the show is to talk about this Alpine Valley Time Trial, so why don't you fill in the folks on, uh, the particulars on that? Okay. Well, let's see.
• 23:42
  The race is the 26th, this Saturday on July 26th. It is an off-road time trial. Registration opens at 8:00 and ends at 10:30. A racer will start every 30 seconds.
• 23:56
  The cat one leading out, but then the rest of the categories, including the fat bike class, will be intermixed. The lap's approximately six miles long.
• 24:06
  The baddest boys around so far are getting around the course in 35 minutes, but there's gonna be added course and a cyclocross-esque type section for the spectators to watch.
• 24:19
  Uh, a lot of ribbon racing through the side of the hill and some log jumps. So it'll be great spectating along with just racing.
• 24:28
  And, uh, the Wars race was canceled, so we kind of picked the ball up and ran for people in southeastern Wisconsin who still have a place to race this weekend.
• 24:37
  And, uh, so far, the- we're hoping to have a pretty good turnout. That's killer, man.
• 24:42
  Well, we really appreciate you coming on and telling us about this race and build a new trail not too far from where, uh, both Colin and I both live. [laughs] Hey. So.
• 24:51
