Hope fatso

Hi. Having a bit of a problem identifying the age of Fatso hubs. Can anybody help please. I am thinking of getting them for my 97/98 sts build.

You mean fatsno? Front narrowest is 135 and rear 170 iirc. Unlikely to fit a frame from that era as they were issued 2015 on.

Re:

Fatso hubs were a retro thing, I think I had one around 97/8. They were probably around a year or so by then.

Fatso new to me then, missed that era

Yeah, I mean the Fatso..I think Fatsno is newer. Thanks, if it is 97 ish then that's what I'm after.

Blimey! that's a bit poor. They should have a browse on here for more accurate information.

This is a Fatso with an original box. There is a time line somewhere - other than the inaccurate one on the Hope website :roll:

I'm sorry to say that it is not my photo. I was merely trying to help by showing what a Hope Fatso Hub looks like. I performed a quick google image search, and the picture you see was one of the results.

Did you search for any sort of timeline for Hope Hubs?

I did quick search on here just now for the answer to your question in your first post . The Fatso appears to have been introduced in late '94/95.

Have a read of the whole thread, as there are many links within it that may answer all your questions on Hope Hubs.
