WTD: 135/170mm hub or wheelset

I've recently picked up a fat bike frame fork and some of the running gear but no wheels... Anyone got a pair of hubs or wheels that they'd like to move on?

I've a pair of on-one fatty wheels in that size, I was selling them as part of a full bike but need the space so would sell as just wheels or wheels & tyres. Probably after about £100 posted with tyres for them I think. Can include rotors and/or cassette for a little more.

Are there any other bits you are after? Also got most of a fat bike...

Thanks!

The "bike" came with some old but tasty parts; Raceface Next SL crank and bar, Hayes carbon Stroker brakes plus a carbon fork and an M970 XTR shifter. I had thought the bike dated from around 2014 but the shifter predates that ....anyway, it would be helpful to know what was available back then as I know very little about fat bikes. Can anyone help/advise?

I certainly like the sound of these but I'd like a couple of options before taking the plunge.

Does sound like a nice selection of parts! Entirely possible that it was built up with older bits where suitable, and those XTR shifters last pretty much forever.

Forgot to say that the tyres are on-one floaters, and I think I've also got a spare vee tyre which I tended to run as a faster rolling rear one.

Do you need qr or thru axle as fat bike standards exist for both in them sizes.
