10mm axles to 14mm dropouts.?
« on: April 25, 2009, 02:35 PM »
Hey people i need some help/advice.
I have a bmx about 3 or year old that is knackered. the wheel axles are 10mm but the dropouts are 14mm.
I want to keep the wheels so can i adapt the axles with some kind of converter to fit 14mm dropouts.?
If they exist where can i get them or how do i do it.?
I,ve seen 3/8ths to 14 converters on ebay but not the ones i need.
Please help.
Cheers

You can buy the adapters that make 10mm wheels fit 14mm dropouts. any good bike shop or online bike shop should sell them 8)

the large bit is on the nut side, the small bit in the dropout.

they are much smaller than they look in the pix. Quite dainty really.
