Cutting reverse threads into a Freewheel Hub?

Posted on
  • I have aquired a number of NOS GOLD suzue Large Flange rear BMX hubs, which are basically identical to the suzue,Suntour,Malliard and I think some shimano track hubs of the ERA.

    Minus the fact that they are obviously threaded to take a freewheel.

    Now, I need to build myself a new fixed wheel and it would make sense to use one of these. As id be paying over the odds looking for a formula hub and the likes in gold.

    Anyone know where I can get new threads cut into it?

    From pictures of track hubs, it looks as if the lockring threaded part has a smaller diameter than the cog part.

    Would this mean I would have to stick it in a lathe first to take of a bit, then get hold of a die to cut the new threads?

    Is there some standard measurements I could take into a machining workshop?

    I have 4 hubs by the way, and think I know where to get a few more.
