Thanks. Good to know. I am shopping primarily for Winter right now as I don't expect to get back into high speed trail shape ever again. I still have the roady, and our trails are tame by any standard here.... Or could a 2.6" tire work in the winter.....?
depends..... how much snow do you get and how often?
Ask @w00dy about the Bucksaw - he had/has one and loved it.
If it's winter you are concerned about, even up here in the great white north, a studded 29er-whatever works fine 98% of the time. The studs actually work better on narrower tires (more pressure). And if you get snow/ice that lingers for weeks due to low sun and temps, you want studs, a lot cheaper than the emergency room. The fatter tires are kind of nice for commuting with lots of curbs and crappy paths, but that definitely doesn't necessitate 4 or 5" tires. There are a few times commuting where the fat tires help with snow, but keep in mind anything more than about 4-5" of new snow and riding a fat-bike becomes impossible, also sloughing from the snow-plows can seriously screw up the paths and I sure as hell ain't going to ride in the road in those conditions.

That seems to be where I'm headed now... Guess it's time to go buy some tools and some wood.
IDK, I've been using the same home-brew for years now. I've recently been extending it with what I call "refreshers" that lack the latex and slime. I wouldn't even know where to start, but if I'm on vacation and didn't bring a few extra vials of my own, I'll just grab a couple stans.
good thing you sold the M
Right? I'd told her in the past that I can build stuff, but she never really believed me, as I never had tools that would allow me to properly do a lot of the work. Now that I've done the framing for the fireplace and the proof of concept for the kitchen cabinets, she had an epiphany that I actually can do it and well. So, here we are.
or saying "no"
Stans...
She deals with daily household shit and children losing their shit. I get calm down, playtime, bedtime, and don't have to deal with cleaning. And believe it or not, I somewhat enjoy building things.
Not between you and the Mrs.
I can provide a list of things done poorly by the carpenter who did the built-in's and the contractors who you've heard enough about already. I had to spend another 5 hours this past weekend fixing things done incorrectly or poorly by them. The amount of time I've since spent fixing things is now greater than it would have taken me to do on my own. I guess I just have higher standards when I know how something should be built and can identify errors quickly.
i've found stans and truckerco to both be good. there's a local company called black ox that i'll probably try next.
They were. Pickles as a stuffing? Who knew? The Gravy was like Demiglace. In order to get a bottle you have to return the empty bottle to the homeland to be refilled. Serious shit for her. I deferred. Very refreshing however. They drove my car home and then rode their bikes home after they drank the rest of my beer. Fun day. I must say... The bottle is shaped like a Cello.
I remember the SRAM stuff from that era and a little after. Yep, no comparison, it was all crap. They only started to make passable stuff with the "X" series and then good stuff with the 1x that came shortly after. Before that, it's horrid.
