77 ARGON FAT WATCH THE VIDEO „FAT SUMMER IS COMING“ https://vimeo.com/126789384 Marco Hösel Thuringia, GER | Photo: Constantin Fiene NICOLAI is widely regarded as being among the pioneers of fat bikes. Thanks to the seamless workflow within the company, a workflow in which development feeds into design, which feeds into production, we are able to design, build and test relatively quickly. That is how we designed the fat-bike, based on the Argon platform with oversized HWT yokes for the massive tire clearance. Additionally, we’ve been able to offer a number of drivetrain options such as the integrated Pinion gearbox, or a special rear-end for Rohloff hubs, both combined with Gates Carbondrive. Our athletes Frank Schneider, David Graf and Marco Hösel quickly recognised the potential of fat bikes and have demonstrated in several videos how far you can push the boundaries, even with fat tires. Just how far we can take the Argon and fat tire concept is unknown. However, read the next story and you will see: What is good for one must surely be good for two. <e>
