BMX - Where to find LHD rear hub?

I'm having difficulity locating a left hand drive (LHD) hub which accepts one of these freewheels:

Does anybody sell these anymore?

If you get the hazzard flip flop hub or even the dk(i forget what its called) you can run the odyssey 13t lhd freewheel. try danscomp, albes, staff or one of the other good mailorder shops.

you can buy pretty much any flip flop hub and then just put it on there. Dans has a coalition flip-flop on sale for $40

he needs lhd tho.

dude the freewheel is LHD... a flip-flop hub is a lot like a front hub...it just spins. the freewheel will catch, causing it to rotate. so all you really need is a flip-flop hub like the Coalition one i recomended.

edit: haha i just made a noob mistake. im a tard. ive been riding for years but dont know what i was thinking. Ive been focusing too much on cars and drifting lately that I guess my mind has been throwing bike tech out the window. ugh

Are you sure the Coalition has left-handed threads on the left side? I sent Danscomp an email, but haven't heard back yet.

Just so there is no confussion, I require a freehub which will take the 1.37" x 24 tpi, left-hand threaded freewheel indicated above - NO other hubs will work for my application. It seems the DK "Dual Drive" is one that might work, but I haven't found a source which sells just the rear hub yet.

Much thanks all.....

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... "flip-flop"? you can just flip it around. its that simple.

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... "flip-flop"? you can just flip it around. its that simple.Please excuse. I'm heavily laden with BMX inexperience, so could easily be snow-balled with little effort. That said, please correct me if I error.

I just assumed many "flip-flop" hubs had RH (right-handed) threads on both sides (to allow simply flipping the wheel around and use a preinstalled, different tooth sized freewheel on the RH side of the bike). Such a RH threaded hub I cannot use.

Then I learned of another breed of "flip-flop" hub which accepts a smaller 30mm freewheel (which I cannot can use either). Just too much confussion for me, I guess. Any way, my specific application requires, at least, any hub which can accept the left-hand-thread, 1.37 x 24tpi freewheel. It can be a "flip-flop" I too, I suppose, but must have the above mentioned LHD threaded ability - I'll just not use the right-hand side. Just knowing which one(s) is my delima.

Thanks again for your guidance.

I think you need to find a LHD specific hub, flip flops have threads for freewheels that are 14 tooth and smaller on one side and traditional size threads for 16 tooth freewheels and up on the other side.

http://www.danscomp.com/426111.php?cat=PARTS its so hard to even find any flip flop hub now, never mind a lhd one, your best bet is to just buy a lhd cassette. those hubs are the only flip flop ones ive found availible, and they are race specific.

Will it work with my LHD freewheel?

Whatever hub suggested, flip-flop or otherwise, MUST be able to accommodate this (http://aebike.com/page.cfm?action=details&PageID=30&SKU=FW1233) freewheel. I simply cannot use anything else.

i dont think they are lhd just saying that is the only flip flop hub i could even find, but your best bet is to change to a cassette hub.

thats what youre gonna have to do bro... a lot of people are making the switch, so the companies are starting to sell less and less freewheel hubs as a result. sorry dood.

freewheel hubs are almost absolete now. Noone carries them anymore, and even low end junker bikes are coming stock with cassettes!

haha word

thats what youre gonna have to do bro... No bro, trust me, it ain't what I'm gonna 'have' to do. I'll either build a suitable hub from scratch,.. or wait 'til someone digs one outta their 'old school' discards. Likely both will happen, so i'll have a spare.

Thanks all...

I dont see why you are against swaping to a cassette. There are basically no cons, and you have way more options.

Cassettes are better than absolete freewheels. Get a cassette. Trust me it is like the only thing me and FuzzyRyder agree on. That's hard to do.

:s what do we disagree on...

What the definition of a junker bike is? That's the main thing.

anything without a full chromoly frame is garbage...

Get a cassette. How many times do I have to repeat this? A newer, 30mm cassette style hub will NOT work for my application, no matter how superior it may be. This is a custom, one-off build which requires a hub with 1-37" LH threads.

Must have missed that part, well good luck to you! the dk hub is probably your best bet.

You do need a LHD specific hub, flip flop or not, a regular (RHD) flip flop hub won't work, as they are meant to be either a fixed/freewheel cog, or two different sized cogs, both to be used on the right hand side. Also, allot of the hubs on dans come with cogs, and in LHD, so you could use one of those, I'm not sure why you're so set on using that cog, otherwise good luck finding a hub to work with it.

Also, allot of the hubs on dans come with cogs, and in LHD, so you could use one of those NO, I cannot use one of 'those' hubs. The application I'm using it for requires a hub which accommodates 1.37" 24tpi, Left Hand Thread, ACS "Southpaw" freewheel (http://aebike.com/page.cfm?action=details&PageID=30&SKU=FW1233).

Try the ALT bike culture sub forum. They might be able to help you out. This is a BMX forum apparently your not talking about a BMX.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but the hub I seek, is in fact a BMX specific item. Or at least that's what it was originally designed for, and used on.

Yes, you are right. But they might have some mail order sites for custom parts. Try there because obviously we don't have what you want.

or he could try and contact some manufacturers and see if theyll custom build a freewheel hub to fit the freewheel he wants to use.

I know this thread is a few days old, but my friend has a normal F/F hub and runs a LHD freewheel. He uses and Odyssey 13T. It should be the same as the South Paw though.
