I ask because, while I haven't sat down to figure out the millimeters, I have often wondered if a fatbike designed specifically for ss/igh use could run a non-offset 135mm rear hub, and still have chain clearance. I know folks run IGHs (like the nuvinci) in their Pugs frames, but it always seemed silly to me to have the hub offset to gain clearance for a 9-cog cassette outside of the rubber when the hub actually only has a single cog. <br />All that aside, I concur: an IGH/belt-drive Fatbike would be awesome. Expensive, but awesome.Hookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09156463752790394948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-28692345469720879912011-09-24T18:33:09.832-05:002011-09-24T18:33:09.832-05:00A single-speed, gates center track, IGH fat bike w...A single-speed, gates center track, IGH fat bike would make me start saving my pennies up too!Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08661542336802712873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-8005453049316727142011-09-24T05:02:01.126-05:002011-09-24T05:02:01.126-05:00I have a similar winter bike build in mind but the...I have a similar winter bike build in mind but then with a Sturmey Archer 3-speed 170mm wide disc brake SLVR hub. I ride a single speed rigid 29er now (that I also have an Alfine wheel built up for) but I don't think 1 gear is enough for winter off roading. But three likely is. 1 general purpose gear, 1 climbing gear and 1 "road" gear. And the price is right.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03344595887347079176noreply@blogger.com
