Their Story
We didn’t invent the fat bike…we reinvented it.
In earlier designs, the rear triangle of the frame had to be bent outward to the right side, along with using an extra wide spindle on the cranks to move the chain rings outward and provide more chain clearance for wider tires. This moved the rear wheel off center, necessitating the need for offset drilled rims, where all the spokes were on one side to re-center the wheel. Many riders said they could feel this offset when riding.
In 2007, Greg set out to produce the most advanced fatbike ever made. The wide, symmetrical hub design solved all of these problems associated with offset designs, and was soon adopted by all frame manufacturers, and would remain the standard until 2012, when we developed an even wider symmetrical hub to allow use of 5” wide tires. The mighty Fatback 197mm hub has remained the standard ever since.
In virtually all hubs, spoke lengths and tension are not equal. Symmetrically designed hub flanges keep all spoke lengths and tension equal, building the ultimate wheel.
