Long shot but just wondering if anyone has built up this combo and knows what spoke lengths I need. I'd like to order the spokes before dismantling the wheels if poss.

Dont do it. Shite hubs. My bearings wore after 5 months, then the freehub blew. There were no spare free hubs for 3 months. The end caps constantly fall off and the axle is hard to get through.

Hey, Dickie. I figure I'll build them up and if they blow up I'll buy new hubs. Can't bring myself to add another £230 to the bill just because something bad *might* happen. And this way you get the opportunity to say "told you"

I've had Hope bearings go rough in less than 5 months. For all we know Cheezpleez might, just might, be a paragon of fastidious, obsessive maintenance.

First ride yesterday, on a set of the On-One fat wheels. The El-Guapo hubs looked ok when I had a closer look, but just found myself looking if they had spare freehubs in stock. Anyone know if the fat freehub is the same as the [i]normal[/i] hub...?

Fastidious. LOL.

Dickie, however, is a big chap who rides a lot and puts some serious power through his freehub. I think I'll take my chances.

Pretty sure the freehubs are the same. Dickie may be able to confirm.

And thanks, mb51 but unfortunately that's not a 170mm fat hub
