For anyone wondering how the 29×3″ tires work in snow, all I can say is they
actually work really well. I have a Krampus and have been riding it all winter
here in southern New England. I wish I had the Klunkus as it is simply
gorgeous! The Knard/Rabbit Hole combo works great in varying snow conditions
(light and fluffy to hard and frozen) and, on fresh fluffy snow, up to ~ 5″.
Just like a regular fat bike, it kinda sucks in fresh heavy wet snow that has
yet to be packed down. The tire/rim combo also kicks ass on bumpy icy trail.
The kind of small stuff with ice that would normally land you on your ass is
really rideable.
I don't know what the author weighs but at 170lbs I usually run 9psi in the
rear and 8 up front in the dry months, and today I was running about 4psi all
around on frozen snow (both on packed trail and bushwacking through the
woods). Too much pressure and the bike is a handful to say the least. Kinda
like a bounce house, or if you ran way too much pressure in your suspension
with your rebound dampening as low as possible. Filling rattling is an apt
description.
