sorry I cant get my own pic to upload for some reason. looking for thoughts and ideas on how to rig it up. I will be putting on a rear rack for sure, this bike is for a grocery getter, expo, and hunting bike. I have a rear rack bow rack I will add to it, but cant decide on the front rack. I will likely in 2018 do the ride the divide....yes I know its a fat bike bit I'm willing to bet I will be a lot more comfortable then my skinny tired friends(I have a tri-bike and road bike as well so I have something to compare it too)

thinking of these for my racks..http://www.blackburndesign.com/en_ca/racks/outpost-fat-bike-rack.html#.Vxv3BWz2Zjo

Congrats on the bike!

Old Man Mountain racks are great, made in USA from lightweight aluminum. Albeit a little more expensive than Blackburn.

That is a very nice rack, and while I'm with Miles and always defaulted to Old Man Mountain, I think Blackburn has caught up to them.

And the Divide on a fatbike sounds... Better you than me. I did a 375 mile trip on a fatbike, and while it was necessary for the terrain I covered, the few long gravel and pavement days I did were less than awesome. LOL

Thanks for the replies!!
I'm going to evaluate a blackburn since delivery to Canada and exchange has it almost double the cost.
I find my overall times on a fatty are not much slower because I will take corners and bumps way faster...but straight line there is no question there is more rolling resistance.

Fat Bikes likes to approach cycling from a unique angle. They identify problems with existing bikes, and then come up with solutions which they will use to create an even better bike.
