Anybody mount these on a regular road frame that was made for a wheel with a full cassette? I am and I'm wondering about alignment with the chainring.

Trickier than you might think. These are spaced narrow, standard road is 130. You'll need to put axle spacers, make sure your crank spindle length is correct and possibly flip or space your chainring. Chain line is probably the hardest part of the conversion.

Hi, I bought these wheels for my 71 Schwinn with a freewheel. I don't own a bike with a cassette, but I understand that this is completely different from a freewheel. I think that there are different models of rim with different hubs loaded for freewheels, fixies, and cassettes, so look for those. For my bike however, the LP18's are great. These are in fact some sort of aluminum alloy.

If your going to just swap out the gear hub, you will need new spokes and have some one lace the new hub into the original rim , then just change the selector and everything should bolt onto your frame, I converted my 24 speed mountain bike to the 8 speed gear hub and enjoy it , I never changed gears on the front chain rings so no loss to me, I like simplicity

If you are planning to user them on a bike with derailers you may not have success because the hub is make for flip flop of one cog. You can use the wheels on the frame but suggest to ride it as a single speed or a fixed gear. Your brakes might work but will show wear due to rubber pads rubbing on wheel edge.

I use this derailleur with a 7 speed MegaRange cassette. The problem I have, is that the rear derailleur mounts with that "arm", thus causing the derailleur to hang low. This, in turn, causes the chain to hit my centerstand style kickstand in certain gear combinations. Annoying, but certainly not fatal. I will switch to another centerstand.

My set up: sram red compact crank and sram 1050 12-32 cassette...works fine, no issues, has been on my bike for over a year...though I did not determine the correct chain length, I had my LBS do it. : )

No idea.... Bought 2 took them to. A bike shop and had them mounted. I suspect that they can be used front or rear. Look for direction of rotation on the. Tire.

no, you need to get a free wheel that screws on to the rim. note: not a cassette but a free wheel. I had a 7-speed free wheel that screwed on without a problem. However, there is a tool (socket) that will be needed for the freewheel. There are different ones for different freewheels. I hope this helps.

I mounted them on a 20 x 1.75 rim, they were loose going on and took a little time to get them to seat with out the bead comming off the rim. The tire did blow off the rim with in a month, but I remounted them with slime tubes on the same rims a couple of years ago and kept the pressure up and the budding 10 year old stunt rider has not been able to flatten or dismount the tire.

Most of the bikes has a 9mm axle. It's an standard. I have 8 bikes (road and mountain) and I haven't had any problem at all.

Hi! I wanted to do exactly the same thing but the current design does not allow for it because the wheels are on the inside of the frame, so I drilled new holes on the other sides and put the wheels on the outside. Works great now! Hope that makes sense.

I put them on a 2002 Ultra that has a trike kit it is a Twin Cam Engine the only issue I had was a clearance issue having to do with the TRIKE KIT Mounting Bracket I would say they should fit just fine on a Stock Two Wheel Bike it is a TWIN CAM Correct?

Same problem here.. haven't messed with it (No time yet) but it looks like the frame is not straight where the derailleur mounts so I'll have to heat and bend that tab.. what a pain. As the bike is, the rear derailleur is awfully close to the rear wheel's spokes and even worse is the overall chain alignment

Yes. Should not be a problem. They're flat, so will mount to a curved wheel well

Most bike come with the mounts on them. If you do not have them, then you will need them to mount.Thank you

Hi John.I've have this pair on my full suspension mtb. They lasted me a bit then broke off. Rear will break off first then front.For the front fender, I had issues having it stay in tight so I did some modifications by putting a rubber band to get a better grip to stay in.My advise to you is, buy the DeFender™ XC1/XC11 Set, they come in 26 and 29 inch depending on your wheel size. Find them cheap on ebay! Got mine there. They look much better, more durable, and newest model from Topeak. Yours is a hardtail so you'll be fine. More of a problem with full suspension bikes when it comes to rear fenders but there are special ones made for FS MTB like the mudhugger. Hi John.I've have this pair on my full suspension mtb.

Yes. Those are the ones on my bike. But your derailers might have a different ratio and that could cause incosistancies when shifting.
