trials hoe Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 is that a front hub rigged to work on the back? id hazard a guess and say ud need a 116mm hub, were these a mod-stock frame? if someones just wacked a front hub on the back, the frame could be shafted.

hypermobilty Posted August 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 i think it is a front hub just put on the back i havent riddern the bike really as i have no working back brake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Trials Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Yeah that looks pretty odd. You'd need a fixed rear hub (measure the dropout spacing for the hub width) and a screw on sprocket. That wheel would make a decent front spare too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 They're a 116mm rear end, so I'm guessing that whoever converted that front hub to run a sprocket (well, drilled a sprocket to fit the hub) has just spaced the axle a tad to fit. Any 116mm rear hub should do the job nicely though if you were looking to pick up a new wheel for it, and would be a great opportunity to put a nice wide rear rim on there too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss-Higgy Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 How you got on? I recommend not being stingy with a rear wheel, try and spend as much as you can so its half decent and will last Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dobby trials Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 they're a 116mm hub spacing but I'm running a 135mm on mine with a little stretching of the frame, I've not had any problems with my frame or hub yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
