Fixed hubs for 130 frames
Hi anybody know of a decent, yet reasonably priced rear hub for a 130 OLN road frame. I've seen IRO hubs in the states but there seems to be a lack of choice in the UK.
Any help would be much appreciated A29 |

I think that your best-bet is to simply buy a replacement Shimano solid axle & nuts and/or cones and put it in an older Shimano freewheel-type hub (or, possibly even a vintage Campagnolo hub if you replace all the innards with the solid axle parts from another, solid axle hub) ... OR, you can try to locate a NOS solid axle Shimano hub (used in hybrids until a few years ago, perhaps even now) or the complete solid-axle wheel and cannibalize the hub ... but, it will more than likely be a 36h hub. |

Re: Fixed hubs for 130 frames
Another option is to bend the frame to fit the hubs you have available. Of course there are caveats:
1) This is best done with steel. 2) Be sure the dropouts stay parallel and the frame symmetrical. Options range from try-it-and-hope to paying a frame builder to do it perfectly. That could cost more than the hub modifications described. 3) Not a great idea if you need to switch back and forth to 130mm. With the warnings out of the way, I'll mention that I have a Reynolds 531 road frame which has been widened from 5 speed to 9 speed, and then narrowed back to fixed gear width. No problems, and my LBS did a good job keeping things parallel. |

Re: Fixed hubs for 130 frames
The solid axle from a set of araya wheels from 1980 fit into the hub of my 1993 dura ace rear wheel on my fixie
