MTB wheel skewers on bmx
« on: February 27, 2013, 08:24 AM »
Is it possible to fit MTB type hub skewers to a bmx hub?
I will need 10mm at front and 14mm rear

i don't think so, firstly i think the width is diferent and secondly you need hollow 'female' type axles to run the skewers through.

Begs the question though, why would you want to?  ???

Simple I really only want to do the front wheel so I can remove it quick and chuck the bike in the back of the car
then I thought may as well do back as well
it was just a thought
