definitely BMX, 110mm spaced? 48 is standard drilling for BMX hubs.
Looks like many of the hubs sold at Danscomp BMX.

What's the best way to break a chain if you haven't got a chain break tool?

I've been labelled! But I ain't no freak. 
I'm just scum with conflicting interests: Family first, sleep and work fit in somewhere, bike last.

Training Plan:
Step 1: Ride bike more often!

I also thought I'd be clever a couple times by re-using Shimano pins when swapping chains from one bike to the other. I got away with it most times, but on two occasions the chain busted.

What is it with Ebay? It seems to be a giant perv room. I always get plenty of watchers, but it seems they all have very deep pockets.

No Goldwing (shudder!), no jet pack (now there's an idea...)
My favorite stainless watch, the Chase Durer, needs a new battery. It's basically a solid chunk of stainless steel. So I switched to my Lineage titanium watch. That's more than a 50% reduction in weight! I flew over the Donald Street bridge today, in the heat. It's gotta be the watch.
