I need to check out my hub as well. It made some funny clicks at the end of last year.
I wonder if and Onyx hub would be any more reliable than pawls? Though one of those hubs would be worth more than my entire bike .

The proven reliable option is a DT350.
Mine also had metal flakes in it mid season. I'm afraid to open it.
It's a SunRingle SRC. They all seemed fucked.
I'm gonna go ahead and ignore it.
Realized my rear Lou tire is basically falling appart.
So, I mostly ride spd’s here, because usually the snow is very, very dry. However, for the times flats would be better, I actually think these would be dope, if they weren’t $300. Like, maybe $100?
(and yes, I am aware of how many times these have been posted...)

Wet snow is going to exacerbate the bulge, becoming unridebru.
How aboot some oneup or raceface in plastinium?
Kona Wah Wah 2's in size large composite are what you should be running on a chubby bike. Otherwise you're wrong.
(OneUp's have the grooves in them which fill with ice and slowly block the pins/your foothold)

Yes that was me. Unfortunately, once my fat bike was juuust right, I moved out and sold it
Those tubes were a bit of a hassle to put in (if you got the presta like me) on the schrader drilled rims, but once in, I haven't had any issue.

I don't have much to contribute in this thread, other than I am 2 rides in, in my first ever fat bike season and I have a blast. I love it!
I went to E47 both times, riding the same trails as in the summer time. The feel and challenge is different than the summer experience on a regular mtb,, but it's just as fun.
Conditions were excellent however. I understand it won't be as great all winter long.

When fat bike conditions are good, it is a lot of fun.
Sometimes when the trail is packed down, a foot below the surrounding fluff, it just feels like riding a slot car track or something.
E47 and SDM look like they'd be a blast with their grooming.
Groomed trails are fun to go fast without not much technicalities. If you get the chance to ride steep snowshoe trails, you'll probably have a blast. My view of a fun ride has changed since I got my new fatbike. It's now shorter, but full of sketchy dh and improvised lines. I groom my own lines in the forest that I have cleared the past few years.

Yes, I agree it was not very technical. It was a bit similar to a summer flow trail with berms you can rely on. Perfect for where I'm at in my recovery from my broken foot. There was one however that had not been ridden much and was much more challenging. It was basically a 6-8" skinny the whole way down.
There are also plenty of options in the area for snowshoe-trail you can ride on a fat bike. I will check them out for sure. There are also plenty of double-black trails at SDM that are snowshoe trails in the winter. They are on the list too!
