2 questions: 14mm axles and 36 hole hubs...

[divxrippimp]

2 Questions:

First, can i run a rear 14mm axle on my mod, its an adamant a3?

and

Second, can a 36 hole hub be laced to a 32 hole rim easy?

Thanks everyone!:h5:

1. u can measure how wide ur dropouts are on ur adamant... i dont think its going to fit 14mm.
2. 36h hub isnt supposed to be laced to a 32h rim, i asked about it a while back and was told not to cuz ur gonna have some gaps somewhere.

[divxrippimp]

just two gaps on each side... it should be ok? i was just woundering if the lacing is possible...

ill measure them tomorrow...

its going to be a biotch figuring out the spoke lengths.

This is the site with the crowsfoot lacing pattern required to run a 36h hub on a 32h rim:

If you don't understand it, don't try it. In short, don't do it.

Second, your Adamant mod frame is most likely designed for a 10mm/3/8" axle (pretty much the same thing). Don't modify the frame to accomodate one part you happen to have on hand. You will ALWAYS regret it.]

Get a proper 10mm axle mod or BMX hub and get it with the same number of spokes as your rim to start with.

It would be easier if yo just bought a 32 hole hub and rim. Sell your rear wheel complete.

dont do the 36 to 32 spoke thing, i did that a few years back, it didnt work out very well. wheel wasnt very round, not very strong, a hassle to true, and it eventually cracked the flange of my hub
