Single speed hubs?

I am looking for new, cheap, single speed hubs, 36 hole, alloy, to take LH lockring.

Shimano and Surley are too dear for a project bike, any ideas? There must be something in Aus?

If you find any, let me know, I'm thinking of building a SS wheel for an old 10 speed I have.

Have you looked at some BMX hubs. Not sure where to get them online but surely they would be cheaper.

Since when has Surly been too expensive? Crikey.

Have you considered theft, or perhaps dumpster diving?

BMX and MTB do not have the lock nut!

I am trying to build the whole bike for less than that.

So far, the cheapest in Aus is Velocity at around $200 pr, the USA, Harris Cyclery, $100 pr + $35 post.

They are similar, however, in the USA, and like Harris Cyclery, $100 + $35 post, I am looking for something with local support, in Australia.

I have to re-sell the bike when finished. I am not prepared to sell the bike without a lock nut on the sprocket.

fair enough however if you want local support you may be stuck with local prices.

For what it is worth Harris Cyclery's after sale support is top notch...

later

I have seen what you are looking for. My LBS in Queanbeyan had some no name track hubs for a CHEAP price. The bearings were pretty rough though and this isn't going to help you find them

I picked up shop soiled 105, 9 speed road hubs for $80 a set so they don't have to be expensive. Try searching eBay.

I think leestevens was referring to a FLIP-FLOP BMX hub ... the price varies ... SOME older BMX hubs are steel, so ask before you buy!

The BMX hub's axle should be long enough to use with additional spacers to allow the hub to fit a 135mm rear; but, if not, you can certainly substitute a longer axle.

My frame is 120mm drop out, about 50 years old! I will look in my LBS later today for some 27x1 1/4 fixed wheels, this may be the easier option.

No 27" wheels left!

I have located some Suzue Basic Track Hub Sets, these seem to be reasonably priced, I will have an exact figure tomorrow when Vic recovers from their day off.

FYI. BMX dropouts ARE 120mm ... some BMX hubs are freewheel-only, and some are flip-flop.

Obviously, BMX hubs are generally MUCH LESS EXPENSIVE than Track hubs.

The alternate, non-freewheel side on a flip-flop hub IS threaded to take a "standard" PISTA/Track lock nut ... I don't know if a lock nut is provided with any of those hubs.

OK, can you post links to some of these cheap 120mm BMX flip-flop hubs that are available in Aus?
