Single speed hubs? - Page 3

George, here's a wheel (see attachment) which I re-dished & re-spaced to 126mm (for convenience) ...

The wheel currently has a solid axle because it was easier to work with when making adjustments (in particular, to the chainline -- the chainring is mounted on the outer shoulder of the crank's spider), but I may change it back to a hollow axle since the wheel currently has a BMX freewheel.

KIDS, DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME. I had the wingnuts, so I re-tapped them to fit on the contemporary Shimano solid axle that I used ...

I agree, using front 9mm (5/16) locknuts tapped to 10mm (3/8) for the rear is !

Having said that the wheel/hub concept is good.

Mine is BMX Hub & freewheel, SS spokes, alloy 700c rims, 28mm Maxxis tyres, its a 29er MTB! For $350 it can be yours.
