16 into a 36 hub

[lazychubs]

right how the feck am i gonna do this then as cant get me head round it lol
thanks to heywood bmx bailee now has a flip flop hub
but as his wheels has 16 spokes and the new hub is 36

[harris]

measure the inside of the rim , take that measurement and divide by 36    thats your hole gap measurement
pick the spoke hole nearest the valve hole  to start then mark with a marker pen and drill out
some original holes might even come into play so use them.the old unused holes just ignore.

[lazychubs]

blimey that sounds like hard work lol
think i may need picts dan lol
is gonna be hard as his wheels are only 12 "

[harris]

shite thats small best do it from outside of rim then lol
and make sure your spokes will be correct length.

lazychubs you have got yourself a whole lot of touble there , there is a link below here and somewhere on it is something about using different holed hubs on different holed rims , I say somewhere because I cant remember exactly where I read it , it may even be a link off this site.

A 48 would be better as the spacing would be even . wouldnt it? I think.

[lazychubs]

na 32 would lol but dunno who does one
as would only have to miss 1 spoke hole on them lol

[bof]

48 is an option and maybe easier to find . I know hoffman used to do one.

[lazychubs]

or even a undrilled hub then i can drill me own lol

[steve]

you will find one, but it will be steel
-from a weeny weeny bike
-i found a 20 hole rear hub

-why 12 inch wheels?
-pit bike?

[lazychubs]

hes only 4 steve and has one of them mongoose mity mini's
but as they only for training and hes shredding already i need to sort his gearing out and need a smaller rear cog
as can only go down to a 16 as the front is 28 and hits the coping when he rolls into a mini quarter
plus hes just to small for a 16 inch park bike

[steve]

you want a 48 hole cassette hub

-your rim wants a hub - if its a 16 hole rim, with 8 holes per side

=a 48 hole has 24 holes per side

24 divided by 8 =a nice round number in 3 -sweet

3 equates to lace one hole, miss 2

 :)I do have a 32 hole  built up 20"wheelset with a rear cassette hub somewhere.Unused and unsealed though.Takes a standard Shimano pattern cog,so could take a 12t rear cog......

[lazychubs]
