A few people have asked me about getting "Old Man ~ Fat Bike" stickers. You can purchase a small (3" x 1.44") sticker for $2.50 or the large (4" x 1.91") sticker for $4.00. If you would like to order one or more please visit the the following link;
www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr...
Once I see the transaction I can contact you via email and get your mailing address and find out exactly which sticker or stickers you want.

I like choosing the fatbike design look and then brand comes afterwards. Welcome back to the KZfaq life sir.

Hard choices... Years ago i had a crack in my MTB and welding solved the problem (one year later cracked again). But i would go for the first new bike option. The orange bike. I'm Dutch so the orange bike would make sense.. ;-) Go with you feeling. My Fat bike is a Salsa Mukluk 3 2015 model. i hope that it stays with me still years to come. Keep them wheels rolling!

I think I would choose the Woo, you will need to replace the rear hub either way as I think you have a 177mm width hub and both of your choices have went to 197mm. Also not sure on your present crank clearing the Wo frame, I have a 2016 Wo and it’s fairly wide so a SRAM Fat5 will not clear it, I see you have a RaceFace crank so you may be good either way. If I were you though I might want to try a Corvus SkookumAF, couldn’t go wrong with the same bike Pat Smage rides!

Correct you are @douglas May, the new rear hub spacing is 197mm and I will need to get a new one Industry Nine hub. A new Corvus SkookumAF would be nice too! I'm pretty sure Pat could make any bike look good 😉

Wo or Woo? both good : Decide which colour you like best. The wozo had 27.5x3.8 tyre whereas wo/woo runs on 26x4.0. If you keep your old 27.5 rims you *may* be able to use them on the woo because it has slightly adjustable dropouts. Adios.

Actually, my 2018 Wozo has 26X4" tire in the rear and 26X4.8" tire in the front. I'll be able to swap the old wheels and tires to the new frame, regardless of which new frame I go with! Thanks for your comment @Robert Smuggles!!

Looks like both frames are the same. Forks are different but really not sure what the difference is Kona Wo Fat Disc or Kona Wo Fat Carbon Disc (Woo). If it is colour, I like the 'olive green' of the WOO (but appears there might be 2 different woo bikes available).

Hi @Tim Gorman - Greybeard MTB! Sorry it took me so long to reply to your comments!! For some reason this comment ended up stuck in the held in the for review section. The Olive Green Woo is the 2023 model and the 2022 Woo is the frame that Kona offered me and it comes in Gloss Metallic Green w/ Black Forest & Indicator Yellow Decals. If you look closely at the two there are some geometry differences between to Wo and Woo. The biggest differences is the Wo does not have a carbon fiber front fork, the Woo does come with the carbon fiber front fork. I hope this answers your questions. 😉✌️

That you need a new rear hub is a bummer... The Wo allows to mount derailleur and carrier and has a balanced geometry. With its 455mm stays and moderate reach and relatively lower stack it will drift both wheels at the same time, if you ride seated. The Woo is geo wise the same (at least very similar) as your Wozo. It is very long in the front (and has a higher stack to compensate for that) and very short 420mm chainstays, which give better grip when climbing, but leave you to weight the front wheel in fast corners. You'll want the shortest stem possible to get the most out of the long toptube on steep descents. Bottom bracket is too low on both. Woo wants a suspension fork even more. Seat angle might be steeper=better on the Woo, as long as your seatpost height is not too much higher that the head tube. Are they both dropper compatible? Color?

@OldManFatBike Жыл бұрын
WOW, you've really did your homework on this subject @Cool Cycles!! I agree, the bottom bracket is low, I noticed the same thing with the Wozo. I'm leaning towards the Woo and whichever frame I go with will be fitted with front suspension. Thanks for taking the time to comment on this video 💖👍🍻

Здравствуйте, если Вам предлагают новую раму, то я предложил Вам присмотреться к Kona woo, у нее как у Вас тоже подвижные дропауты, рама Kona Wozo уже накопила определенную усталость металла и лучше выбрать новую раму если есть такая возможность.

Привет будни фэтбайк, мне нравится ход твоих мыслей! Woo находится на вершине моего списка! Я согласен, что новая рама - это то, что нужно. Нет необходимости ремонтировать имеющуюся у меня раму, чтобы потом узнать, что она снова вышла из строя! Спасибо за ваши Коментарии!!
