Post by: HEYWOOD BMX on August 30, 2010, 03:24 PM: :) Looks like it can be changed but you`ll prob struggle to find something as large as 14T,most peeps are running much smaller.Be careful before you part with your readies-some drivers are brand specific and not interchangeable.

If you talk to Custom riders they might be able to tell you if any other brand drivers are compatible. The other issue you might run into is that normally the drivers that have changeable cogs are race derived and run 10mm axle's.
