New front fender

I just ordered this from beez deals, I'm going to try 300x17 front tire and 13t front sprocket. I hope it makes a difference with the deep sand in my area.

Couldn’t hurt it! The bigger tire will help, but look at adding a smal compressor to your kit so you can air down when needed. Really helps in sand and loose dirt surfaces, I drop to about 10 to 12 psi

Any pinch flats with the lower pressure?

I nearly bought one of these. Still might but I don't 'need' it yet.

Agree about dropping the pressures, but a tiny mountain bike manual pump will also air things back up. I went to the 13 tooth front sprocket and still find it difficult to make progress in some deep sand conditions. Sometimes you just have to get off and walk alongside. But 13 is definitely better than 14 in these circumstances.

Well, I went to 8psi in southern CO on that broken shale and ripped a valve stem in first gear climbing a steep incline, but rode it back 18 miles, no damage to tire. I had zero problems at 10-12 psi so far. Not too worried about a repeat. It really makes a difference.

I think your best bet for the deep sand is a different bike! I have 3.0’s…. Still a 270# underpowered fun bike.
