the frame is spec'd for 14mm by 110mm hubs. Thats the standard size for a BMX rear hub. Youre free to choose a fork. MTB forks are either 9mm QR/10mm bolt on or 20mm through axle.
Yeah the frame is designed around 24's 14mm 110 spacing like said above. Also for forks like into something like the gold lable or jumper or waht ever the hell..... www.tonicfab.com

yes you can run a mtb hub on a 24" rim
and can use bmx cranks and bmx bb. or do i have to use mtb cranks and bb?
You use a BMX Mid BB setup. There are 4 types of BBs:
-American (what you mean by BMX)
-Mid (American sized bearings that press into the shell and eliminate the cup)
-Spanish (same concept as mid, just smaller)
-Euro (what you call mountain bike, threads into the shell)
You need a mid bb setup. Profiles are the tried and true cranks.
You need a 24" rim of some sort on either a 20mm or 9mm hub depending on fork.
I would recommend a Nemesis Project tuned Marzocchi Z1. Light, low, stiff, strong.

thats a lotta questions
... and the monkeys remained helpful and refrained from being condescending. Congrats.
That's why I love this board.
yeah. tonic=bmx hub spacing and v brakes for short travel fork such as a sherman JUMPER or a LOWERED rockshox argyle. for those forks you will need a 20mm axle. or you can ge a standard dropout fork if your running a 3/8" axle or a trailblade 2 rigid by dmr if your running a 14mm axle. btw they make all 3 kinds of drops for theri fork i ahve one its pretty damn good
so pretty much the falll guy is compatible with all bmx parts besides the fork and fornt hub?
bingo!
