HUB HELP NEEDED

[dordymush]

right i just bought a couple of the captains rims and wanna make a nice mid school set of wheels up.
the rims are 36 spoke and my bikes got 14mm axles.
which would be the best hubs for me to look for for a 1999 bike.......and has anybody got a nice pair to sell  .

dave.

[Discostu]

In 99 I would have said most freestyle bikes were on 48's still. I'm assuming it's a freestyle bike with 14mm axles. Race bikes were on 36's with 10mm axles. But I may be wrong. 

[dordymush]

its 99 challenger xl stu.
looks like i might have to get some of them converter things to take thread size up.
both the rear drops and the pitch forks are 14mm.

[Discostu]

Yes those convertors would do the job. I would say on the hub front to look out for profiles. Or g sport if they did them in 36. (I'm sure they didn't in that era). We need s&m alex to confirm what was about at that time.  Actually primo might have done hubs in 36 hole as well. 

[dordymush]

yeah i want something that would have been used around that time. i dont ride it anymore. just trying to make it look nice lol.

i dont ride it anymore. just trying to make it look nice for the missus to hang the washing on lol

Fook me, a podium for your Patty at the xmas do has changed you mate, it's show-bike central at cassa Dordy these days!

You can bag Primo's - good luck finding 'em - they were few and far between then due to the favoured strength over weight of the late mid school.  Believe it or not G-Sport did do a 36 called the 'Dirt Hub' in the 90's.

But for a '99 Challanger I'd grab some lovely TNT's (they've remade them now as well so not rare and you'll get to pick your colour) - Derringers or Revovlers are corkin and should only set you back around £70 new

[Dannywhac]

Don't get the loose-ball Mowhawks though, as the one's I've had were a bit sh1t (bumpy bearings from new - even after a regrease)

[dordymush]

i might be in luck looking at them links.
i put and old set of wheels on my haro master yonks ago just so it wasn't sat on the floor.

Bring em round to mine Dave complete and we' drop them into the other rims in the time it takes to have a brew.

You can drop them into the lbs for a final tension when you get a chance bud :-)
