    Cheap Hope Fatsno hubs are CRC;

    135mm 15mm (assume you can get QR end caps for it) as well as 142mm 15mm for original Plus bikes;

    bonesetter – no idea. 150 is the new PLUS size and you’d need to have a chat with Hope about end caps I think. Maybe the Fatsno Pro4?

    Matt- no, they have some taste :O)

    Snooze you lose…

    The final Hope RDS Fatsno Pro2 135mm q/r front hub went overnight for ~£33, I decided to mull the purchase over, given I have an RDS On One fatty front wheel ready to use with the Carbon Fatty fork… Scone!

    I’ve known they were on CRC for a few months, but given I’ve never had custom wheels built (and I dread to think how much it might cost), I decided having a decent spare hub just in case wasn’t a good way to spend my limited “treats” money. But already I’m kind of regretting not pulling the trigger on that £33 blue hub last night, they were ~£47 up until very recently. 😳

    The Fatsno 4 front hubs are now back at ~£64, including 10 that come in 135mm FDS q/r flavour (i.e. would fit the default Wazoo fork), still plenty left in stock for those of you with 150mm Axle forks such as the Blutos.

    I got the last purple one on that basis of its better to have it cheap as a spare rather than full price when I actually need it. It can sit on the shelf next to the bottom bracket I got earlier in the year.
    My lbs charges something like £40 if you provide hub and rim.

    Purple? It’s not 1988!

    Form follows function. 😉

    Sensible colours like black were not an option two days ago. 😆

    It so is as well you know. It was cool back in the day. No sequels match up to the original :O)

    In my defense there was only purple or blue left of the qr version when I bought it.

    I have an opinion, it doesn’t make me right.
    (I’ve got a gold king headset on a green bike. No taste!)

    Well my Black 142 x 15 hub arrived today (I have QR endcaps for it). Sadly though its an FDS and I need an RDS so will be going back 🙁

    Thanks for the PSA though Timbur

    It did say FDS on the listing Andy!
    Whack it on eBay and make some cash 😈 or sell it to one of them above up there who ended up with “bin end” colours 😆
