convert front mag to a rear?

[Mr Nice]

Is it possible? local bike shop has two unbranded front mag wheels and was wondering if i could convert one to a rear

If they are anything like Tuff's then you cant.

The front wil just have the axle, where the rear would have a coaster or an area to attach a freewheel

Alloy hubbed tuffs can be done if you have a good engineer.

I used to have a tuff wheel that had bolts holding the hub in place instead of rivets and I used to swap between a freewheel and a coaster hub.

if these are shiney black or white five spoke mags steer well clear, seen some of these and flex a sh1t load if you put any sort of weight on them

[adeshere]

If they are tuffs with plastic hubs then you can't  but if they are the metal hubbed type then you probably can

[Bob_Acid]

Probably?

[pickle]

my guess is that if they are unbranded mags, then they will be cheap and flexy fookers and more trouble and expense than it'll be worth to convert them.

just buy a new set of tuffs for about £60 if you want some for a rider?

cheers everyone. think i'll sack that idea then
