jigga Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Has anyone managed to run Freehubs on these 116mm drop-out frames. Ive got a set of 116mm mod Chris Kings which I'd like to build-up onto stock rims. Tarty's site recommends these frames are best only used for front freewheel, because people have, apparently, had clearance problems running front 18t sprocket with the Echo Spanish style b/b. The B/B length is only 114mm, I think, and makes the sprocket run too close to the chainstay, or something like that. Anyone done this yet? All advice appreciated before I start wheel building.

SamKidney Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Might be possible to scale down your sprocket sizes? You could run 16 front, but Im unsure as to what on the rear to make it feel equivalent to 18-15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
