Nanuq Posted December 23, 2014 Report Posted December 23, 2014 I did this on my mtn bike And today on the same bike at the same spot... It's feeling much happier. Merry Christmas to my finger! 1
jackflash Posted December 23, 2014 Report Posted December 23, 2014 Ouch! Glad you it made through this time without incident! Happy Christmas!
kernow Posted December 23, 2014 Report Posted December 23, 2014 I'm Glad both your finger and bike survived. Looks a nice trail too.
Nanuq Posted December 24, 2014 Author Report Posted December 24, 2014 Cold?? It was perfect today, 20 degrees on a nice set trail. Tomorrow I think I'll head back out there on the skinny skis. This is Christmas weather!
Ezio Posted December 24, 2014 Report Posted December 24, 2014 Ouch nanuq how did you manage to do that Merry Christmas mate
Nanuq Posted December 24, 2014 Author Report Posted December 24, 2014 My tires are really wide and barely clear the forks. They were rubbing a little so I flipped it over to adjust them, then spun the tire. I was in a hurry and closed the axle quick release, and stuck my finger in the spinning disc brake. Pow! Digital guillotine amputation against the brake caliper. Lotsa blood.

Mike on a bike Posted December 24, 2014 Report Posted December 24, 2014 I told you guys Nanuq rides his bike in the snow, see................
TwoTone Posted December 24, 2014 Report Posted December 24, 2014 I'm just glad it was your finger and not your noggin ol' friend... The bride and I are planning a trip your way to visit family this coming year... Be prepared Speaking of family - do you know the Senden's? Bob & Judy? Coach at the high school for many years - retired now...
Nanuq Posted December 24, 2014 Author Report Posted December 24, 2014 Double T! Nice to see you back old friend!! Can't wait to see you again, we need a BBQ on the deck at Chez Nanuq! MoaB, let me tell you about falling through the ice on my mtn bike, not just once, but THREE times on one ride! At -25F. Yep it's Alaskan winter biking.
Nanuq Posted December 24, 2014 Author Report Posted December 24, 2014 Compared to my 25cm tires those are a true example of "Fat Tire"Yep that's a Pugsly made by Surley, and the tires are called Endomorphs, at just under 4". The next step up are the 110mm rims and the "Clown Shoe" tires. They're awesome in deep snow!
