I would like to build a fat tire bike using an IGH transmission. Does anyone know if there are any IGH hubs that have the 64 hole hub (32 holes on each side)?
So if the tire was offset, like 15 or 30 mm, how would that work for the brakes. Just thinking about disc brakes and if the wheel was off set that much, would it affect the disc caliper. Would it still be possible to use a disc brake with such an offset?You don't need to use all holes... I am an avid fatbiker so I can explain all this....in the beginning of fatbikes the only thing you could get had a massive offset, so that the cassette was exposed and could be used reliably. IE a full cassette with no chain rub. To achieve this offset the rim had to be drilled offset as well so that you could get even spoke tension (17mm for up to 4" tire 30mm for a 5"). Hence the 64 holes since 32 is the standard for a pedal wheel in the recreational MTB world. The front uses every other hole on both sides of the wheel to create a symmetrical dished wheel with even spoke tension............. Now we have 170-190 hubs instead of maxed at 135 so doing that isn't needed anymore
