Have my 1st Fat Bike frame on order. First time building up any bike and trying to learn what I don't know while I search for parts.

What online bike shops do you all check for Fat Bike components?

Finding it difficult to find Racefacer Turbine 190mm spindle 175mm cranks specifically but also looking for other parts as well.

Cheers

You and everyone else. Parts hard to come by these days.My old X-type BB bearings went out and there are none to be found anywhere.

My local shops have the 190 (189 actually) spindles in stock, but apart from that, the same online shops you use for everything else work just fine for fat-bikes. I recently ordered a 170 RF spindle for my new 177 fat-bike. Don't remember where, but with 30mm spindle cranks you can order a RF spindle apart from the cranks and "build your own"...

True, RF left us hanging on rebuild kits but plenty of replacements out there if you Search by bearing dimensions. I was able to source bearings from DT Swiss which I am sure will outlast the cheapo RF ones.

What’s weird is the ID is not compatible with FSA even though the ID is nominally the same at 24mm. I ended up finding a pair of Shimano bearings that worked

Just use shimano then. I always usefxtr with raceface cranks….
