hi there,

just wondering is it possible to run 110mm bmx cassette hub on 120mm frame?

thanks

Theoretically yes, but it would involve an axle change, and spacers, and the chain line would probably be shit, unless you dished the wheel really oddly. Also, if it's a decent bmx hub the axle will be too big for any track frame's dropouts.

There are frames made for 14mm axles, like the Def wish.

oh I forgot to mention this would be 26" fixed freestyle frame anyway the thing is I want to build up a fixed freestyle bike but I want to run it with bmx cassette hub, I like 26" fixed frames cause top tube is pretty high but i'm not into fixed gear riding so basically I want to build a big bmx bike

yeah i used to run 110 bmx cassettes in 135 mtb frames back when i used to dirtjump. loads of people did it. just get some 14mm washers and space the hub out on either side. chainline is usually fine if you are running bmx cranks too (bmx cranks + bmx hub = perfect chainline)

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
