Bicycle Mechanics - how to make my bike a left side drive

hey
i am new to this forum.. i am wanting my bike to be a left drive instead of right. wut do i need to do this? i have seen flip flop hubs n stuff. but is it possible to just get a different free wheel ??if so wut is the best kind? thanks for the help

is this a BMX bike?

I was waiting in my LBS for one of the guys to look up a certain part, and I was looking at the BMX bikes. One of the cool things I noticed, at least on all of the specialized that I saw, had this hole on the left side crank arm where (presumably) a chainring could be mounted. that would make for a really easy trainsition to left hand drive...just switch the chainring, and flip the flip flop hub...

You need a crank that will allow you to mount the chainwheel on the left or I guess you could put your existing crank in backwards, although your pedals would be backwards as well. You also need a left side drive specific freewheel. ACS makes a few of them, you should be able to get them from your local bike shop although they might need to special order one for you.

There are some thoughts and ideas here http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=50135&highlight=left+cranks

Here the way to do it. Put stuff on left. Pedal backwards.

What about some tandem parts ??

Forgive me for asking but....why?

BMX'ers do it because some of them like to grind on the right hand side. By putting the drivetrain on the left they can grind without it getting in the way.
