tdubz Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Here is the situation Recently snapped my frame, it has a 116mm back end so naturally i have the same hub. The hub is echo tr I am looking around for replacement frames but before i make serious decisions i was wondering..... A mate of mangled his old tr hub where the cog attaches but this was a 135mm hub same as mine. Could i swap the axle into my 116hub (i know tarty sell a 135 hun axle) and it would work? And how difficult is this to do? This could broaden my frame searching quest! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 The TR 116mm and 135mm axles are interchangable. Super easy to do too - just tap the axle out one way (which will push the corresponding hub bearing out with it), slide the new axle in then tap/press the bearing back in place. You'll need the axle spacers from his hub too but that's not really a problem if you're taking the axle anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
