Hi, I've found a nice alternative to the surly - innova endomorphs tires, these are produced by innova too.

Can you tell me where I can buy them???

I've tried to email innova and ezebeach, let's see if they answer.
As far as I can tell, these are the only alternatives to the too expensive endos....

No cheaper, but here is an alternative to the Endos:

Is it me, or are those Snow Chains (??) on the middle `spider` tyre

 

[Dr Feelygood !]

At 265lbs......... I CAN build it

 

[Dr Feelygood !]

Just need some snow

Heh !

Would certainly add to the general (wonderful) madness of the Fatbike experience

Would also make a great vid to ad to your increasingly eclectic collection :thumbsup:

According to Shiggy's pics in the gallery, the TommiSea tires will be cheaper than Endos.

Hopefully they'll be cheap enough for me to justify building up a pair of studded fatties.

Good call,

Also, I know chains seems silly on a bike but in real fresh powder, there's little else that improves traction (speaking from automotive experience). I for one would be interested to know if they could increase your average snowbikes's range, or even ability to break trail.

Looking above, it seems the Englishmen find them silly, but they've got that lovely Gulf Stream keeping them wet and warm all winter. That beauty passes by my front door (OK, about 400km offshore) without offering the slightest bit of warmth to me.

I can't believe it!!!!
Do you know how much do the ezbeachattachments/ innova 4 inch tires cost?

30$

They are sooooo cheap. It is a good news!

 

[Sting]

what does it mean "join me in cartwheel"?
I think that you need to contact ezbeachattachments, don't know if they sell directly or if you have to find a dealer....
Anyway I live in Italy so, for me, that tires will be quite expensive anyway :-(

 

[Dr Feelygood !]

I think MT means an exuberant cartwheel of celebration !

How much are Endos in Itay Sting ?

Here in the UK they are £85 = $ 137 USD !!! :eekster:

Clong, I don`t find snow chains silly and can see that they may well be useful........

Just not in the (less than) subtropical paradise that is North Western England

 

[bidaci]

Shows a suggested list of $59.99 on their website

See you on the beach? Looks like my beach is ~4200km from yours, but it could happen.

My beach. A barrier dune system on the north shore of PEI, Canada. Stop by for a ride any time.

For europe, I think that the cheapest place to buy the endos (77 euro) is this:

The prices in the email that I received from ezbeach are these:
tires $30
tubes $8

Guys, make sure that the rim is the correct diameter - looking at the pictures on their site, I think that might be a smaller rim diameter - like a 24" wheel size instead of a 26" size... So maybe it might be like a 650B dia when done overall? Not sure, but looking at the pedals, the people, the overall size of things, I don't think that is a "29" inch diameter overall. Be glad to find out I'm wrong - does anyone actually have or has seen one of these yet?

 

[ATBScott]

Hmmm.... Actually saw one of the shots that I was able to blow up a bit and it does say "26 x 4" on the tire sidewall! Cool - I was wrong!!!
