I just picked up a BMW BMX frame/fork. and the fork has frickin 12mm dropouts....crazyness...and now i have my newly built up wheel ready ot go on it, but its a 14mm!...
BMW said i could shave the dropouts, but i just started the process with a file...and its a bitch...the steel is mad hard...
ill try and pick up a dremel tomorow and see if i can do some real damage....
anybody ever run into this? i didnt even know they made 12mm hubs...

also, for selling bmx stuff, do you guys just use the buy/sell? or is there somewhere else better for BMX? i dont want to spam so i wont say what im sellin...

WARNING!

only gring either the front or back of each side!
I have seen way to many people gring both the front and back of both sides and the wheels sits all bent-cock in the fork or frame.

I just don't want to see a pissed of BMX dude with a brand new uslessfork.:D

just finished it yesterday. rides real nice, brakes are super strong. Ill get pics up tomorrow.

i wanna get me a park bike to match...just gotta get soembody to buy my le toy....
