After seeing the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.notubes.com\/\">Stan&#8217;s Notubes<\/a>\u00a0prototype fatbike rims <a title=\"Thoughts on Interbike by Invitation\" href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/2013\/09\/21\/thoughts-on-interbike-by-invitation\/\">at Interbike<\/a> I&#8217;ve been wanting to build up a set, which meant that once the rims are available I&#8217;d also need another set of fatbike hubs.<\/p>\n<p>A few days ago a brand new set of the highly regarded <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hopetech.com\/page.aspx?itemID=SPG394\">Hope Pro 2 Evo Fatsno<\/a>\u00a0hubs (135mm front w\/ rear brake spacing, 170mm rear) popped up on the <a href=\"http:\/\/mmba.org\/forum\">MMBA Forum<\/a>\u00a0for $225, a price that really grabbed my attention. Some email back and forth with the seller, a payment sent, and a few days later they are here. I&#8217;m really looking forward to building these up, so hopefully the Stan&#8217;s rims are available soon and at a reasonable price.\u00a0If I end up not building up the wheelset I shouldn&#8217;t have a problem selling them for what I paid.<\/p>\n<p>These are really nice hubs, wholly made in England, with an extremely high quality feel. When actuating the freehub by hand I can tell that it will have the telltale Hope sound (read: loud) when riding, something which I&#8217;d been a bit irked by in the past on others bikes. I hope it doesn&#8217;t bother me, but I guess if it does I can always add grease to dampen it a bit&#8230; so long as I don&#8217;t screw with winter-time engagement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since I&#8217;ve recently bought a bunch of new bike stuff I&#8217;ve been trying to hold off on spending for bike stuff, but another great deal&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/2013\/11\/27\/hope-pro-2-evo-fatsno-hubs\/\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Hope Pro 2 Evo Fatsno Hubs<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23,10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17623","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-acquired-things","category-cycling","entry"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17623","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17623"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17623\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17627,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17623\/revisions\/17627"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17623"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17623"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17623"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
