Great video you sure was right about being rocky i still don't see how you can handle it dodging all those rocks but keep up the good work will be waiting for you next one

I love my beargrease, fitted it with the XT 200/180 and some metallic pads, swapped to the GX AXS set, added a dropper and just got a Manitou Mastodon 100mm pro ext... Best freaking hard tail ever.

Great video, I live in Scotland with similar climbs .how high are you up as am waiting for my fat bike to arrive trek farly I think one of my climbs is way more stoney ( Rocky )) and steeper just hope it gets up it the way you got up this hill I also got it for a better work out and was it smooth coming back down that hill ..thank you

[biketrips]

Cool! Looks like the tires are inflated little bit too much. How much BARs did you do?

[weekendmountainbiker]

What count tooth front chainring do you run? You should check out "fat bike skinny legs". Great job on the hill.✌️🤙👍

I may be jumping the gun on an upcoming video, but what’s your plan for winter tires on the ‘Grease? I’m thinking I’ll try my old 26” wheels with the studded Dillinger 4’s I already own, but I’m considering rebuilding my wheels and getting some 275 studded tires again.

I have the exact same bike but have the Manitou Mastodon fork. I can climb everything in Phoenix. The bike is an excellent climbing machine. What gear are you using to record your bike videos?

[TheLankyCyclist]

Ooof! We have some steep climbs in Ohio, but you have the added difficulty of doing it at elevation! What's the weight difference between a Beargrease and an ICT? 7-8 pounds?

[shaymtbrider]

If u do lot of climbing then i will suggest u put one or two spacer on top n change ur seat angle u will be amazed how much difference will be

[Longevityfit]

Would you mind giving your thoughts comparing the Beargrease to the Crestone?

[DavidS-nhzg]

Im in the Fat Bike market and was wondering if you can add a wider tire onto the beargrease?

[investron]

Nice video...👍👍👍....what's the price of your salsa bear grease

What's your experience with the rear Van Helga inverted?

Please count the number of teeth on the small sprocket of the cassette. Salsa claims an 11-speed 10-51 cassette, but there is no such cassette, I have searched through a huge number of sources and there is no mention of this cassette anywhere.
Sorry for google translator.
