Looking at hope hubs, but what rims?

And they will fit won't they?

Hugos on my 29+ wheels (different frame) and can't fault them. ridden like a **** at times fully rigid and the rear has the mildest hop in it but nothing thats really worth truing for. The first version were a bit soft i believe but the latest seem great - tubeless is soo easy too.

Love my Hugo 52 29+ rims on hopes. No idea if they'll fit your fatbike though, won't your wheels be 26ers? The 29+ might be a bit larger. Maybe look at diameter of 650b+ as an option.

Dually are the lightest alloy rims. I just bought some carbon 29+ times from China which are 1lb lighter than hugos and cost only £80 more. I've had a set of light bicycle rims for 3 years now and they are still holding up well.

My back of the fag packet calcs suggest that 29+ should fit.

31 inches mine come up as with knards on them if that helps confirm.
