does anyone know if the new Halo Tundra fatbike wheels will fit my Fatty frame and carbon fork ?
thanks
I think that it will, but with a couple of caveats*.
* You need the 135 front, 170 rear both set up for quick release skewers.
But there are 2 different 135 mm front hub/fork standards. The Fatty uses a front specific spacing for the front hub & disc rotor. The other standard uses the same spacing as a regular 135 mm rear mtb hub. I couldn't see which the Halo was.
* You may get chain rub if you are 2x10 due to the wider rim.
My Fatty (Raceface/Shimano 2x10, On-One wheels) has less than 1/4 inch clearance between the tire (Floater) and chain when on the innermost gear combo. The Halo rim is 10 mm wider, so would move the tire out 5 mm or so. And if you are using a different tire...
EDIT - The On-One website says that their wheels/forks use the 135 mm rear disc spacing on the front. But I've tried putting a regular 135 mm rear wheel on my Fatty (to fit it in a bike rack) and the rotor fouled the disc caliper. Thus I thought it was the fron specific spacing. I am confused... ๐ฅ
Great post , I've got the fatty & carbon fork too & was looking at the tundras
I've gone 1x10 but haven't bought rims yet
May just get Marge lights
The front is front disc spacing.
The front and rear hubs come with adaptors in the box to run 135/142 bolt through, 170/177 bolt through or 190/197 bolt through. Not sure about QR versions, you'd need to call them.
The hubs are excellent, just wider versions of the usual 6 drive.
