poopipe Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 ok ,thanksif you're set on running the bmx hub you could just grind a couple mm off the axle on each side - so you'd get a flat bit that fits your dropouts and still have thread all the rest of the way round. I reckon that'd be alright and if you f**k it up it's only an axle rather than a framei take it you've counted the spoke holes(ie. its not a 48 spoke hub) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
