  1. Yo,

    I was wondering if any of you guys know of a bike hub along these
    specs:

    14mm axle
    Front hub
    Sealed bearings
    36 hole

    and mostly WIDE, thats what im lookin for, WIDE

    im building a bc wheel and I want/need a very wide hub for it, do any of
    you guys know of a hub along those lines?

    thanks,

    -E

  3. Just trip along to your LBS and see what they've got on the shelf. BMX
    hubs are genreally the same width so that the forks are compatible with
    all hubs, i think moutain bike hubs do come wider, particularly if
    they're tricked for fitting discs and that kind of stuff.

    But can you find MTB hubs with 14mm axles?

  5. Foes makes one with a 30mm axel :-P. I don't know how common 14 is
    though. 20mm is fairly common.

  6. 30mm is insane, how would you ever need something that strong and beefy?

  7. MTB hubs are wider than BMX ones, most will be available as a 36 hole,
    sealed bearings are quite common, and to get the right size axle, it's
    just a matter of asking. 14mm axles are fairly easy to come across, 20mm
    is the new fat [censored] the Down hill riders are using, but 30mm... I've
    never seen that before

  8. yeah, the 30mm hub is fork specific for the Foes...something. Beefy as
    can be. It looks like a more standard size is 10mm, which is something
    of a reason for everyone switching to 20mm. The forces on a bike wheel
    are pretty big when you decide to do a 20' drop, keep that in mind ;-).
    I don't know how you could bend or break a 20mm axle on a BC wheel...
