Second son has bought an exotic (www.staticbikes.co.uk) jump bicycle frame but it has 14mm dropouts and he has 9mm axles. He needs a couple of washers about 4mm thick (exact size to be confirmed) with a hole diameter of 9mm and an outside diameter of 14mm. Any (helpfuy/relevant) suggestions welcome -- Nick Brooks GN125 ('till test passed) 1960 SWB Landrover 1974 Mercedes Camper Van Klein Attitude Golf VR6 Combined vehicle age 90
Might be worth looking at some new hubs with 20mm thru-axles and bringing them down to 14mm. That'd give him more strength that he'll certainly need if he's using a jump bike properly. I notice the manufacturer does inserts to bring 9mm axles up to 14mm though. Or he could buy their rear hub which isn't too expensive at 80 quid. Bloody odd size is 14mm. Standards are changing slowly to 20mm on the front and 10mm on the back for downhill and jumping and staying at 9mm for xc frames.
Despite what it sais on the website they don't have any converters available. He could buy their hub but a) it's only 36 hole b) He's already build a 48 spoke wheel around a Hope hub and Haro rim c) he's spent all his money already BMX innit? Thanks though
If you can get summat resembling a technical drawing to me then I'll see if there is any spare time in my step dads shop. Let me know what it needs to be made out of. - http://www.rot13.com/
I do indeed, however, I am embarking upon the nausea of moving house as of Friday. There's always Uncle Nigel....?
Pah, you don't ever need more than 32 spokes. Sounds familiar. I assumed it was an mtb based jump bike.

It is. Well sort of. It's MTB size and shape, can run gears and spongy forks but has a three piece crank, disc and rim brake mounts and those big dropouts. -- Nick Brooks GN125 ('till test passed) 1960 SWB Landrover 1974 Mercedes Camper Van Klein Attitude Golf VR6 Combined vehicle age 90
Well I would but if you read up the plan was for them to look very original. Then again by the time WUN has finished with them....... 'Hog
I wouldn't imagine the originals are anything better than rough old cold stamped blanks so a Dremel will make them look better.
