Maybe You Just Want To Be Mid-Fat??? SPECIALIZED FUSE COMP 6FATTIE

So you don't feel comfortable getting Fat & all so what other options are there available?  You could always just go Chunky and get the new 6Fattie bike that Specialized is offering to men & women.  Today we will highlight the men's Specialized Fuse Comp 6Fattie:

Take a look at the world's strongest man, and you're not going to find some chiseled Adonis. You're going to find someone who has more volume. Behind the "extra" surface area, though, there's a man that can dominate a caber toss and run down the tarmac with a plane in tow. Mathematically, it could be broken down as more volume + versatility = dominance, and that's exactly what's at play with the Fuse Comp 6Fattie. Our 6Fattie Wheel System uplifts the Fuse to have more traction and control than any hardtail before it, while its no-nonsense build is custom spec'd to get the job done, no matter how rugged, technical, or hair raising that job might be.

• M4 Premium Aluminum proved to be the right material for the job, allowing a lightweight, durable frame with a low and slack geometry that's equal parts snappy and efficient on climbs and descents. It also allowed us to incorporate our exclusive Diamond Stay that accommodates the 6Fattie wheels/ tires without compromising on our hallmark short chainstays that provide unrivaled handling and climbing prowess.
• SR Suntour Raidon 650+ fork's 100/120mm (size-specific) of travel soaks up trail bumps, while its compression and rebound adjust enable you to dial-in the damping to your liking.
• Custom WTB Scraper i45 wheelset has a fat 45mm width and alloy construction for the perfect blend of speed and strength, which means that you'll experience less deflection, increased traction, and more stability—all at lower tire pressures.
• 650bx3.0" 6Fattie Ground Control tires feature a perfectly sized contact patch for life-changing levels of traction and control while cornering, all without sacrificing climbing efficiency or descending prowess.
• Our Stout XC crankset would be the perfect complement to any one-by drivetrain, but here, its strong alloy construction and spindle makes it ideal for power transfer on climbs and the inevitable rock-strike when descending through technical gardens.

For more information on getting chunky or fat stop by the shop and check out our complete inventory selection!  If you are interested in getting full on Fat then here is the price sheet for the sale but anything from 2015 and older is limited to stock on hand.  We are open from 10-8 today.  Conditions should be ideal this weekend for your maiden fat bike ride around WNY!

Mountain Bike Time - Specialized Fuse Pro 6Fattie

Well since we all snuck off mountain biking last night at Sprague Brook (There were 8 total in the WNYMBA group and we saw many more on the trails) I figured we would do a Mountain Bike post.  And what better bike than the new 2016 Specialized Fuse Pro 6Fattie:

The Fuse Pro 6Fattie is the next step in the evolution of trail riding. Now we know that sounds bold coming from a hardtail, but with our all-new 6Fattie Wheel System, the Fuse puts out more traction, more floatation, and better handling, all without sacrificing anything to efficiency. And when teamed-up with a low and slack geometry that keeps you glued to the trail, and our exclusive Diamond Stay design that keeps the chainstays as short as possible for snappy handling and quick accelerations, that "bold" statement above becomes undeniable fact.

• M4 Premium Aluminum proved to be the right material for the job, allowing a lightweight, durable frame with a low and slack geometry that's equal parts snappy and efficient on climbs and descents. It also allowed us to incorporate our exclusive Diamond Stay that accommodates the 6Fattie wheels/tires without compromising on our hallmark short chainstays that provide unrivaled handling and climbing prowess.
• A RockShox Reba RC3 650+ fork was developed to deliver 100/120mm (size-specific) of plush, trail taming travel, while accommodating 15x110mm thru-axles for reliable handling and durability over rough, bumpy, or loose terrain.
• 38mm-wide Roval 650b wheels are hand-built to provide the perfect tension and a longer lifespan, while an ultra-wide alloy design allows for higher tire volumes that decrease deflection in order to provide more stability and increased traction.
• 650bx3.0" 6Fattie Ground Control tires feature a perfectly sized contact patch for life-changing levels of traction and control while cornering, all without sacrificing climbing efficiency or descending prowess.
• SRAM's S-2200 11-speed crankset delivers all the ease-of-use climbing and descending efficiency that a one-by setup is known for, but what we're most excited about is how seamlessly it interfaces with our exclusive Diamond Stay design and bottom bracket junction to form a smooth, natural, and intuitive ride quality.

MSRP is $3,100.00 - For more information on this great adventure bike stop by the shop today from 10-8.  November days do not get much better than this for test rides!!!

Plus Size Tires - 2016 SPECIALIZED FUSE COMP 6FATTIE

Yes we have posted about this recently but I was reading through an industry magazine and they had an article about the different tire sizes so I figured I would share some of the article with you and remind you of the awesome bike that is now available at Tom's Pro Bike!


Grip It. Grip It Good.

Plus-size tires fall somewhere in between a traditional mountain bike tire and a fat tire. By definition, they are between 2.8" and 3.25" when mounted to a 40–50mm wide rim. The combination of a wide-profile rim and the girth of a plus-size tire creates a larger contact patch for the tire to connect to the dirt, which we all know equates to one thing: traction. Plus-size tires aren’t just between fat tires and mountain tires in terms of width though. They also fall right in the middle when it comes to tire pressure as well. Add that to the extra grip the tire itself offers, and you’ll be stuck to the trail in the gnarliest of conditions.

The whole article can be FOUND HERE!  It is a very interesting read especially if you are into mountain/fat biking.

For more information on Fat Tires/Plus Size Tires/Mountain Bikes stop by the shop today from 10-8.  The sun is shining & the roads and trails are dry so get out on your bike - you won't be disappointed!

2016 Specialized Fuse Pro 6Fattie

We are out in California for the Specialized Bicycles 2016 Model Year Release and yesterday was the Mountain Bike Demo Day.  Blogger Bill headed up to the Morgan Hills Hills and did some test rides.  His favorite bike was the 2016 Specialized Fuse Pro 6Fattie:
