I'm sure this is a stupid question but what size hubs are suposed to be on a bighit? And what size can it fit? I bought mine here in Germany and it had 10x135mm but I found out those hubs weren't made anymore by specialized and were originally intended for dirt jumpers so I'm trying to figure out what was suposed to be on there and what I can fit so I can change these out.

the rear spacing is 135 mm and it is a standard quick release axle size which i think is about 9/10mm so any hub that is marked as a quick release axle that is 135mm wide should fit
hope this helps

I'd stick with the 10mm B/O rear hub (135mm spacing). Or just get a 12mmx135mm hub and use the DMR or AtomLab 12mm Through-Axle to 10mm Bolt-On conversion kits. Either way, stay away from QR and use some sort of solid axle. It'll make the rear end a bit stronger and stiffer.
