Any cranks ever made?





I think what you're thinking of is a fixed gear hub. Which, in my opinion, is gay. And NOT AT ALL for BMX.

FTW!

Hang on man, what exactly are you looking for? You want a hub where, if you backpedal, your tire spins backwards? Or do you want to be able to ride fakie without having to backpedal?

FTW!

i think he wants a fixed hub, or to be able to go in reverse, at a loss for a better term so well go with that

Atrials hub refers to a hub with a lot of points of engagement.King and Hope ss hubs are the most popular.None of them pedal backwards

Yeah I'm pretty sure he's looking for a fixed gear hub. Ashhh, you DO NOT wan tthis hub to ride BMX with. It won't work well AT ALL.


Trials hubs are just cassette hubs with (about) 3 times the points of engagement.

They make conversion kits for bmx, but I don't know why he would want fixed gear in a bmx if that is what he's talking about. I can't really recall them being used since the 80's in bmx. I could be wrong.

i agree with chris on this it seem like a dumb idea to do, and most fixed hubs are 3/8ths

Well if this is what he want, least there is a least one good company that makes them, that you can count on their parts to work.

Or get a flip flop hub and screw a cog onto it like poor fixie riders

trails are not skateparks, they exist solely from the work and dedication of local riders. so next time you start complaining about not having local trails to ride, you only need look at yourself.
