Wanted: Flip Flop Hub

Posted on
  • Hey I'm currently trying to slowly build up my polo bike and was looking for a rear flip flop hub (gf says she'd like to try single speed so it would have to be a flip flop hub) Really looking for lower cost rather then great performance as it wouldn't be my main bike.

    Thanks

  • I've got a stupidly filthy system x on an old thin mavic open pro going spare.

    To say it was clean, true and smooth would be a Max Moseley defense lawyer moment, but I can bring it to SLondon beers next week if you don't see anything else?

  • now acquired rims so 32hole if anyone has one?

  • pah, i have a 36hole to get rid of.....

  • on one ones are £15.00 for a hub

  • I have a new Surly flip flop, 32 hole, 130mm width, still sealed in its bag. Probably too pricey for what you're after though? They're £57 in the shops but I'm open to offers.

    SImon

  • the on one ones are very similar to the surlys

  • yer but the on one one's are double fixed, i need fixed/freeweel

  • you can put a freewheel on a fixed attachment

  • sounds like it would end up costing me the same as getting a proper flip flop hub, and wouldn't be as strong, thanks for the help though

  • You can put a freewheel on a fixed side.
    You cannot put a cog on a freewheel side as there is no lockring.
    So... if you ever strip your threads, you can still ride fixed with a fixed/fixed, and you can still ride freewheel.
    But, if you got fixed/free and you strip your threads you can only ride freewheel.

  • hmmmm this is all sounding quite good now, maybe I shall get a bolt on freewheel, max/vb how would I go about getting one?

  • BMX freewheels made by Shimano. Or... the Rolls Royce of freewheels are made by White Industries.
