Rear Wheel Beach Cruiser

xxxkrew said:

Can a front wheel be subistuted for the rear wheel of a beach cruiser,
i.e. is there a way to remove the cog and place it on a normal front
wheel? My rear wheel is bent and i have a spare front lying around.

Thanks.

You mean, like a fixie beach cruiser? Ehhh.....

If you mean that the rear RIM is bent, then you could just get a new
rear rim,,,,, but for what it would cost for a local shop to lace it up
for you (put the hub and spokes in)--it's probably about the same price
to just order a whole new rear wheel assembled.

Unless it's got a geared (multi-speed) rear hub, it's pretty cheap anyways.

No.
Front hubs are 100mm without any provision for a driving sprocket.
CB Rears are wider (110mm) and have some way to make the chain drive the
wheel.

Yes, with some work. You need to disconnect all the spokes and change out
the hub.
