My first fat bike.
 
So I picked up a marketplace fat bike.
I believe it's a dynacraft krusher.
Decals have been removed.
This thing appears to have had a rough life before me.
Definitely needs some maintenance.
But previous owner just spent 207$ on brakes at a shop. With receipts to prove it
I paid 200$ for bike.
It chucked a rear pad on her maiden voyage.

But I logged about 10 miles on it and love it.

my other bikes will probably sit and collect dust with this thing in the stable

Fat bikes are a hoot! Glad you gave one a try. I ride them almost exclusively in the winter, whether there's snow or not.

Yeah so much fun.
This bike will help me keep a slower pace riding with my kids and wife.
Probably gonna sell my other bikes besides a backup and my mountainbike

Good deal, but I see rust on a few things. You might want to make sure all the bearings are rolling smoothly

Rear wheel bearing failed on my big 62 mile ride yesterday.
Guess my winter overhaul plan comes early for this bike

Depending on the damage, you might need a new hub.

Yep, I haven't pulled it apart yet. The wheel is off but I haven't seen the guts yet.
With amount of play I would not be surprised if hub got ate up

If it does I'm probably gonna go with a coaster brake set up.
