threaded hubs
 
i am currently running a 16t back hub and a 44t sprocket. would i be able to buy a threaded hub that would screw on to my wheel so that it could have the exact same gearing ratio but with a 28, 30, 33, or 36t sprocket. And so i dont have to go and buy a new back wheel.

no, you'll need a cassette hub.

The lowest you can run is 36/13.

Even then you still need a flip flop hub.

You need a newer flip flop hub. I have flipflop hub from 2001 and you can't run a 13t free wheel on it.

I have a white odyssey flip flop laced to a hoffman highroller. Two odyssey 13t freewheels and I probably have a 33t sprocket you could have. (I ran 33-13 it actually feels real good better acceleration and you dont lose any top speed) It needs two spokes. BUY IT?

is it possible to run a right and a left hand drive hub at the same time (on a flip-flop hub) so that you will have 2 sprockets?

Why would you ever want to do that?

eightdip 07-31-06 03:44 PM

just for fun

premiumbmx2005 07-31-06 03:45 PM

i was thinking the same exact thing

FitRider 921 07-31-06 03:45 PM

How would that be fun? That's just weird.

Yeah you can do it. But it's pointless.

Im pretty sure one would freewheel and one would engauge so it would be kind of like a fixed gear. But really really ****ty and awkward.

lunchbox 08-02-06 10:38 AM

So the cranks would spin at all times?

FuzzyRyder 08-02-06 02:34 PM

Yeah.
