are all bmx wheels universal fit?
besides the size of the wheel and tires, does everything else just fit universally?
i have a Gt bike that uses 20x1.75 and they match up with the wheels im looking at.
"BRAND NEW, never used

20" x 1.75" 5 spoke Mag Wheel
3/8" axles, loose ball bearings hubs

Match the axle width to the dropout width or you will bend the spindle.

What he means is that if the washers on the axle are farther apart than the inside of the dropouts are wide, when you shove the wheel into the smaller opening and tighten the nuts, the axle will bend because it doesn't fit in the space of the dropouts. If the dropouts are too far apart, you will either bend the dropouts in and/or bend the axle the other way. Look at it like this, your foot's the axle and the width of the dropouts is the width of your shoe. If your foot's too big, you will damage the shoe and your foot. However, if your foot's too small, you need to grow into the shoe. Since axles can't grow, they and the dropouts are contorted. This is a crude analogy, but it works. To remedy the problem, add washers or replace the current washers with smaller ones.

Wheelies vs. manuals, whiplash vs. tailwhip, stoppie vs. endo, chainring vs. sprocket, etc. When replying to posts, you should always speak on the other person's level. This person prefers old school terms and there is nothing wrong with that! So stop wasting server space complaining.

Yep, more know-it-all complaining. "Say manuals," "STOP asking about a new bike," whine whine whine. It's horrible isn't it? A bunch of braggarts wishing the only thread was "Bike Checks" so they could brag. Oh well...

A 'wheelie' is not a trick.
A manual actually takes skill and patience.
'Wheelies' are for people who have no idea about bmx and want to sound cool.
I'm guessing, the same kind of person you are.
