Rims!

Just over two months after ordering, the genuine Alaskan snow-bike rims have arrived. They look great. These are single wall rims with large lightening holes. Each rim weighs 855g and a rim/tube/tire is 2500g. That is 200-300g lighter than the Large Marge rims from Surly.

These things are massive, almost cartoonish. I love 'em. I'm waiting on a Spot 94mm 32T chain-ring guard and everyting will go to Spectrum for Powder coat.

Parts arriving

Loads of Pugsley parts are arriving. Still waiting on the rims to arrive before we can go to powder coat.

The forecast is for 3 days of snow. I'm really looking forward to getting this put together.
