Mod Rear Hubs? Quick Question

[Onza Kieron]

I was thinking about getting a mod bike just to mess around on as a second bike. I was looking at a Dabomb or a Mission and it had a 14mm rear axle, is this standard for MOds to have or if I break the rear hub will I have to go hunt a BMX hub?

Please spare the coments of "Dabombs r pizes of sht, nt wrth da cash"

Thanks in advance, Kieron

14mm axles are common amongst low grade mods, but no the "norm" is 3/8" or 10mm

EDIT: Oh if you break it, I have one spare which I want to get rid of

i'm pretty sure the higher end onza's, koxx and monty use a 10mm axle. But this is hollow and hence has a bolt going into it.

the cheaper bikes use a solid axle and wheel nuts....and it sounds like a big b*****d one too-14mm. It might be possible to use smaller though- see if you can have a look closely at one...

It's just i don't want to be spending a bomb on a Mod just to bash around on and when it breaks spend another bomb on replacing it. What rear axle does the T-Bird have?

3/8" the norm

t birds have 10mm

you can buy axle reducers form most bmx shops, the simply allow you to run a 10mm axle in a 14mm frame

try www.alansbmx.com for them this should end your woes, but in all honesty you are better off with a better frame-trying out mod on a shit frame will just make you hate it and regret getting the thing i found this out the hard way
