LOL yeah, good point. I would still have parts laying around. But I wouldnt have GOOD parts laying around so it's not so bad.

Granted this was on a BMX bike, but I've put a TON of miles on this setup without any real wear problems so I dont think it would be much of an issue. It's not a freewheel though, so I would definitely have to lace this hub to a wheel(they're both 36h so that's easy). I dont know of anybody who makes a 9t freehweel. 13 is the smallest I've ever seen.

The spindle size on the cranks are an issue and unfortunately one I wont know until I pick up the bike from his house. Im sure if the spindle is smaller than the size of the chainwheel I can find an adapter(as long as its a common size).

Thanks everybody! Ill be sure to post some pictures of this Frankenstein if it works out.
