After six years of only owning and riding my Wabi Special, I'm finally adding another bike to my stable: the Wabi Thunder. With clearance for meaty 43c tires for whatever terrain riding, mounts for racks to carry whatever you want, and full fenders to keep you comfortable on the bike rain or shine, the Wabi Thunder is arguably the most versatile fixed gear single speed bike on the market. Join me as I build up the Thunder as the do everything fixed gear bike.

The way i see it is. Amount of bikes depends on the styles of riding you do. Im a mtb rider a pavement rider and a commuter. So 10 fixies 5 mtbs and a dozen full fendered bikes fits just perfect. LOL Im jealus of your Wabis. Reynolds tubing rides so nice. Thanks for the content.

6:37 to 7:03 is exactly why I went with a Thunder as my choice when I decided to get a Wabi. It can be a commuter, touring, off road bike, and it can still be a sleeper. I run 32mm tires with the lightweight Wabi wheelset and it absolutely flies.

This is such a sweet bike! I have been figuring out what to replace my commuter / gravel bike with and the Wabi Thunder is now at the top of the list. Not much of a fixed gear person, so I would have to set it up with a gear hub, but what a beautiful frameset! Also, I agree with you Zach - 2 bikes is the perfect number. Sports car and a truck.

Talking of Tire Clearance @zachgallardo ! On my my bike I had the clearance for sure, I used 55 mm Schwalbe Super Moto in the Spring and Summer and their Winter Plus spikes in the WInter. I rode a Genesis Flyer. It that comes as a single gear that I made into a Fixed Gear since 2021. I sold it now the other day to a guy totally new to fixed Gear.... I had never seen someone so happy before, he looked like it was Christmas when he rode off from my home with it, he came from the Philippines and lives here in Sweden and wanted a more unique commuter bike. How I am going to miss him now!!! I got some buyer remorse for sure, feel sad, each time I walk out in our backyard where all the bikes are parked I get agony I do not have any bike anymore and that my bike is gone!!! 😵‍💫😭 I also had 23 mm Gatorskin for days I used drops and wanted to go fast.... and it came with 36 mm Fall tyres... So the Genesis Flyer is a bike that has a lot of tyre clearance !

Love my Thunder. Hated the brake bosses, though. So, I ground ALL of them off, smoothed it over with a little filler and primer, and repainted it. It’s awesome, now. And, if I want a front brake, a Tektro long reach caliper works perfectly.

@anielyantra1 2 месяца назад
Now you are getting to my style of riding. Only major difference is I ride single speed with V-brakes. I also find that full fenders don't do that much more than mtb fenders...you are riding in the rain....you are going to get wet, period! You will find that the 43mm tires are the better shock adsorber you didn't know you are looking for. Yes, you sacrifice a little 'off the line' in speed but that is now not a priority. Oh I also have two bike one set up for 'light' and speed.

Aspin! No soaking. With time (maybe 500km) they are ridden in. You need to use fat every now and again, though not too much.

I like the Thunder model the best, because I just enjoy and prefer the versatility and comfort of a slightly larger tire size… 38mm are on my Ribble 725 Single Speed and I wouldn’t want to go any narrower after riding it over a year. Makes the broken roads and shotty path sections more enjoyable….

Literally what i"ve been doing with my 8bar fixed gear. It's light so it's good for carrying up 3 flights of stairs in my apartment everyday... but for everyday use I also have a front basket and i'm fitting fenders soon because the ass saver in the rear doesn't keep my feet from getting soaked :c It feels a bit silly to have a fully geared fixed gear. But like, I don't need another bike for commuting, I have a carbon bike that does gravel/road with another wheelset. I'm embracing the uncoolness idk
