Quiver Killers or Killer Quiver

Not-so-fat Bike Winter was a total bust. We barely had any snow down in town. So little that I questioned whether I should bother with a fat bike any more, if winters were going to be like this. But we also have plenty of sand here. I love riding the shoreline of Washoe Lake in the winter so a bike that can traverse sand does have some value. There are some large sandy areas nearby that I've barely explored and a good sand bike could open up new riding options. Since most of my bikepacking is in the desert fatter tires do make some routes less of a slog. Then late last fall I got a Duro Crux. I first tried it on the front of the single speed and loved it as a trail tire. Since my single speed runs a 150mm fat bike fork, I also tried the wheel on the fat bike, and installed a second Crux onto the fat bike's summer 29+ rear wheel. These tires are mind blowing. They roll quiet and fast in an impossible way. They almost have too much traction on dirt, at least in the back. If you believe…
