Fails WP:PRODUCT. Still lacks reliable secondary sources.--180.172.239.231 (talk) 12:57, 11 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, and thanks for taking an interest in this article and Wikipedia in general. I'd encourage you to sign up, to make engaging in conversation easier, and for lots of other reasons. It seems that you've been doing well by looking into WP's Notability policy, but I think you misunderstood the applicability of the policy you linked to. At least it seems to me the policy is referring to a particular product of a particular company. This article is referring to a general catigory of product. In any case, the article is of a notable development in the cycling world, and I would not like to see it deleted. On the other hand it could use better references, but let's limit it to a citation needed tag. --Keithonearth (talk) 03:32, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

History: Improve references

Hi! The history section of this article contains interesting accounts of the evolution of fatbikes/fatbiking, including several content additions or changes within the last week or so. However, additional reference citations are necessary to substantiate the information that is included in this section. For this reason, I have added the RefImprove flag to this section of the article.

If anyone can provide (a)appropriate reference citations for the content in the history section, (b) news or other third party article references to replace the raw bicycle vendor website links that now appear in the reference section, or (c) both, this article would be strengthened significantly.

Thank you, in advance, for your help! Laatu (talk) 15:39, 10 April 2015 (UTC)Laatu[reply]

I agree with what was said above and will add that naming a company then adding a ref to the company's homepage is not a valid citation, it's refspam. This style of citations should be improved or deleted. — Brianhe (talk) 16:27, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

comparison of fat vs non-fat?

missing any substance related to what specific difference is there btw plain bicycling and fat-bicycicling. probably the low (0.3-0.7 Bar, if my convertion from psi is correct) pressure tyres (mind you add pressure values using Bar in brackets to the article, pls) make for a great lag compared to ordinary (2.5-9 Bar) bike tyres on paved roads. which would make the fat-B rather impractical for commuting in other conditions than soft terrain, eg: deep snow/sand/mud. but thats just my reasoning, never seen a fat-B in person, I would expect this info included in the encyclopedia. 176.63.176.112 (talk) 21:06, 17 February 2017 (UTC).[reply]

Units

Why are hundreds of hectopascals with precision to a tenth of a hectopascal being used instead of simply kilopascals? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brauxljo (talk • contribs) 00:43, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
