Hi guys, don't know where else I should post this, so maybe you can help me from here:
I'm building my new bike and so far everything went well. But I guess I have a major problem now:
I have a crank with a 34 and a 36 chainring. So I wanted to get a 20t freewheel. But my rear hub (a DMR one) has only got a small thread (!)... What I only learned now - that there are different ones...
So what can I do now? 1) I can change the cranks to 4-arm (expensive) and have a 24T on the front and a 14T on the back or 2) change the rear hub and go for a better freewheel with 20T (I had a BLB 20T with 120 clicks already, but gave it back now).
I tend to the option to change the hub. But as I remember it was really hard to get a 36h rear hub... They don't exist anymore.
What would you do or do you have by any chance parts you can help me with? Or an idea where I can get eg. a 135mm 36H rear hub with a normal singlespeed thread from? High flanges?
