Wright Pads Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Pro II is a stock hub. Stocks are 135mm, mods 110mm. If Neil is running a Chris king then he is running a BMX chris King hub.Your must think a bit more. Hope, Profile, Chris King all make differnt hubs for differnt frames, bmx, mod, stock (trials, dirt, dh etc) 150mm spacing, and tandems's. Just not all manafactures cover every size and aspect!

CurtisRider Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Yeah, its just that the 26'' mods are 116mm spacing thats why i was confused well the extra 6mm is to allow for the use of snail cams, they use 110mm hubs then theres 3mm of room either sideget a fixed rear hub and an eno upfront and you will be laughing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
himikey Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 You can get a pitbull with 135mm spacing or 116 spacing. The Hope Pro II is 135mm so it will fit one but not the other! If you mean this frame here at Tarty then the Hope won't fit. If you mean this one here then it will.Hope this is helpful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davetrials Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Neil is using a chris king stock hubso hes riding the 135mm pitbull? and who ever said hes using a stock hub can f**k off! your mistaken. it WILL be a bmx hub, it looks exactly the same as normal king its even got the same shell as a classic but im sorry i refuse to belive neil is stupid enuff squeeze a 135mm hub in a 110mm gap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun H Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 HAHAHAHAHA you speculating fags.The REAL story is, Neil has a 116mm spaced pitbull frame (MOD SPACING) and has a Chris King classic hub (usually 135mm). To make it fit, he has butchered the hub using an angle grinder taking it down to a size which fits into the frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davetrials Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 so practicly a mod hub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wright Pads Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Not a way in hell. WhyChris King uses 2 differnt drive shells. 1 a std for the ISO, Classic, alloy or stainless steal. On the Single Speed and BMX hubs it uses a shorte one and thats alloy only.Shells, any Classic or ISO shell can be used on a MTB, ROAD, TANDEM and BMX. To make the BMX you need the smaller drive shell, ISO or Classic shell, and a BMX axle.Neil could not of ground down the axle at all as the only side he has to work on is the non drive and it's not enough.The drive shell has to shrink loads!Don't belive me go ask chris king, go see there site, or ask tarty as he is the next guy on here that knows kings like i do!

SemteX Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 [attachmentid=7857]^^ chris king classic hub in a 116mm frame. Off his site. He made a post somewhere which said he cut the hub down. Ask him yourself how he did it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wright Pads Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Look at the bearing cone on the non drive side! Thats a HD Axle bearing cone! Look like it has a full drive shell on there too!Very intrested to know now what he did! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun H Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 (edited) By grinding it down, just like I said. He's taken as much as he can off both sides and it works.Oh and by the way Pete, the BMX hub also has that exact same bearing cone. But I'm sure you knew that being in the business so long and all.EDIT: He may have modified the driveshell, I can't remember all the details, but does it really matter? It fits and that's not even the point of this thread anyway.Go buy the 135mm spaced frame and put your hope in it unless you're feeling ambitous/brave/stupid and are handy with grinders.

GlynnP Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Just out interestWhat would be the point in making his chris king fit the mod spacing Pitbull? Why not just get the stock Pitbull?Was it just simply for a very small changes in the frame like the "Short 1065mm, Long 1100mm" instead of the 1090mm on the stock. If this is the reason then surely he could have either;1: Get a bmx chris king2: Get Deng to make the farme with a slightly diffrent geo in the first place.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wright Pads Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Nope they are differnt, look same outside but differnt threads, looking closer at that it's confusing to what it is!Driver shell can;t be gorund down as it has needle race bearings in the drive. Tomrorw i'll post a pic of a hub i cut up showing you the gubbing of a chris king! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
