wouldnt do it, the wheel wont have enough sideways pull on the spokes, it will be very weak. i would do 24" on that max. when the spokes arent angled enough, it makes it very easy to taco.

Demo 9, flange spacing and hub spacing aren't the same thing.. I am guessing the flange spacing on a singlespeed BMX hub is greater than the majority of nine speed disc hubs..plus, I wasn't debating merit just looking for a used one someone may have.

haha, just measured the flange spacing on my bikes - the 135 Chris King flange distance is actually less than the 110 G-Sport on my USB.

Both wheels have been strong as hell over the years.

Lee - whatcha got cooking? Moving to the WCH as a rider?

Yup. A 135mm with space for a cassette has narrower flanges than a BMX single speed. I got the best of both worlds on my new wheels which are 135mm single speed, very wide flanges. That **** almost hits my brake caliper.

Dog Eater you should see the 135mm Surly ss hubs super wide.

Don-- yeah I have a WCH that I am toying with building up for grins and hollers.. Not quite ready to get to spendy with the build until I spend some time on it. Rear wheel is the only missing component that I don't have or can't "borrow" from other bikes.

Joe has a wheel. I should have bought that frame.

Oh I do have an odyssey hazard hub (10t thu 13t). I can build you a wheel if you want. I have a truing stand now.

Cool - let me know how it rides and would dig seeing pics of one.
