just ordered some Hope Fatsno hubs for my Fatty . got a couple of questions . 1 will Halo Tundra rims fit the hubs and fit the frame ? 2 what tyres for general trail riding ?
thanks
Did you buy Tundra specific hubs?
If not they'll never work.
2.4 Ardents. 😉
sorry silly me !! what I meant was Are tundra rims 32 hole ?? 😀
They'll defo not work with any 36 hole hubs then.
Anything else will be fine.
Might Halo Tundra rim info be on the distributor's website?
🙄
Can't help with the rim/hub question but what tyre for a fat bike is easier to answer as there's less choice.
At the end of the day it comes down to where you ride and the conditions but I've currently got a Nate up front and a Floater on the rear, If it gets wetter (if that's possible 🙂 ) I'll put a Nate on the back as well.
They're 64 hole for what it's worth. 😆
Bud/floater combo for me currently. Seems to be a good combo of grip/rolling and the bud looks awesome.
I've got Tundras on Fatsnos with Floaters in a Fatty. Works for me!
Husker Dus on Rolling Daryls are my GoTo selection. Nates are great for winter use though, either on the front only or in a pair. In both cases you'll want the 120tpi versions for comfort, grip and less rolling resistance.
Maxxis Mammoths look like a new, good option as do the Bontragers.
The answer may be here, a page found after hours searching in a little known website called google:

Whatever you do don't get those crappy Vee8 ones, utter pish.
I was going to buy some Nates off someone on the fatbike Facebook group but they are 27tpi so I think I'm just going to get floaters for the time being.
I'd rather have 27tpi Nates than Floaters at this time of year.
Well he wants £70 for them so I may just go for it.
Has anyone tried the Schwalbe ones yet?
Are they available anywhere yet?
Ison is saying end of Feb.
I guess not, when I last looked it was end November.
Look light, I guess thy have to be fragile or lack durability.

Been riding mainly Floaters lately and they scare me on stuff I can ride without a thought on Nates.
However if you are just sticking to trails suitable for ordinary mtbs, then Floaters are pretty good.
think I will just get a pair of Nates when I can
higgi did you sell the Intense?
If they fit your frame, I've been impressed with the speclized ground controls. Not tried them tubeless yet though.
