TRAMPA's AMAZING 5 Spoke PHATLADS hubs are a '2 Part Split rim', 'DEEP-DISH' (Extra wide), OFF-SET design & the latest addition to fit into TRAMPA’s amazing range of small off road wheels.

Available in a range of Painted Vibrant colours with colour co-ordinating Black TRAMPA Logo's, the PHATLAD hubs Weigh just 184g per hub (not including fixings) TRAMPA's PHATLADS are the lightest, strongest, cheapest, best choice of hub for 9” & 10” Tyres by far.

Injection molded using genuine DuPont composite materials, PHATLAD Hubs utilize a special '2 part split-rim design' that can fit any 3.75 Inch Rim Tire (6, 7, 8 Inch Diameter Tyres) & or any 4 Inch Rim tyres (9 & even 10 Inch Diameter tyre) that TRAMPA offers & pretty much any similar size tyre on the market – One amazing lightweight strong hub to fit them all will transform your ride experience for sure!

Measuring 3.75/4 (rim diameter) x2.5 Inch (rim width) the PHATLADS hubs are a half inch wider than regular 8x2 inch TRAMPA mountainboard hubs. The slimmer/inside half of the hub has straight sided, up to the edge spokes, where as the outer/fatter half of the hub is much wider & has Angled spokes. The Angled spokes give a Deep-Dish appearance whilst gaining the extra half inch width to give them the name PHATLAD's. The PHATLAD's have the same extrnal bearing housing measurement or axle space required to fit the 8x2 Inch TRAMPA hubs onto the 12mm TRAMPA axles of 34.2mm. This 'Off-Set' 34.2mm Bearing positioning means the wider hubs sit perfectly on the axle with no problems.

Increasing the Rim width increases the ground contact of any tyres fitted to them, giving a low wide look when the 6, 7 & 8 inch tyres are fitted & the PHATLADS Hubs are the perfect width fit for the larger 9 & 10 inch tyres to get maximum surface contact (GRIP) in the muddiest of conditions when contact is needed most!

Being 2.5 Inches wide but able to fit the smaller 3.75 inch tires, means that when fitting the smaller tires to the larger hubs that the profile of the tire is completely different... The wider rim will 'Stretch' the tire & give you even more surface contact, as its being stretched width-ways this will reduce the overall tire height, reducing your tire height is like changing your final gear in the drive on an E-Board & reducing the size of your wheel will give you faster acceleration but of course slower top speed.. Its interesting to try different combinations & using PHATLADS you have hundreds of combinations available to you..

TRAMPA's PHATLADS hubs will fit flawlessly to any of TRAMPA's OPEN BELT DRIVE, PRO BELT DRIVE & SPUR GEAR DRIVE Motor mount setups as well as hundreds of alternative applications, it has quickly become the DIY'ers Wheel of choice....!!

There are two sets of Bolt holes running around the perimeter of the PHATLADS Hubs. The Outer set of holes are for the assembly of the Hub & require the M4 nuts being inserted into the nut housings on the thinner of the 2 parts & once the 2 parts are mated together the Shorter M4x45mm bolt should be threaded through from the fatter side of the hub tightening into then nut with a T20 TORX Key. This M4 nut is submerged & the bolt should not sit proud of the surface of its housing. 

The Inner M4x50mm T20 TORX bolt holes of the PHATLADS hubs match the same screw pattern as any of the TRAMPA Slave pulleys suiting the 62 Tooth Slave Pulley when fitted with 6 inch tyres, the 66 tooth Slave Pulley when fitted with 8 inch Tyres & 76 Tooth Slave Pulley when fitting 9 Inch tyres.... Having 2 sets of Bolt holes allows the user to be able to remove the wheel from the assembly without deflating & disassembling the wheel, meaning they can HOT-SWAP their wheel. Being able to 'Hot Swap' your wheels without taking them apart saves you lots of time when it comes to creating different rider setups, after all a board with 6 inch wheels is completely different to a board with 9 or 10 inch Wheels!

It is possible to fit either the 12mm axle 6001-2RS Bearings & 9.525mm axle 16001-2RS Bearings into the bearing housing of the PHATLAD hubs & of course Bearing reducer sleeves can be used to reduce the 12mm bearings to either 9.525mm (TRAMPA's Mini Spring Trucks & 12FIFTIES Trucks use 9.525mm Axles) or 10mm axles if your axle should be 10mm not the imperial 9.525mm TRAMPA uses. 

When fitting PHATLAD wheels on to 12mm TRAMPA Truck axles, you should install a 18.2 x 12mm Wheel Support Spacer onto the axle before then adding the first 12mm bearing, then slide on the Orange 16.5mm Internal Spoke Support spacer & then stretch on & roll into position the 10mm O-Ring. Do all that & then present the assembled wheel & carefully slide/push the hub/wheel into position. Place the 2nd bearing onto the axle & push into the assembly. Finally, screw on the 7/16ths Axle nut with your fingers & tighten up with a 16mm or 9/16ths spanner.
