Hi, does anyone know the chainline for Skyway mag wheels?

Thanks,

I'm not sure what you mean on this one mate. Do you mean the freewheel, the cog bit on the back wheel?

Hi, it's the measurement for the chainring to be in-line with the rear cog. It's for some Bullseye cranks that need washers making.

it probably differs on every frame  :-\  just bang the wheel in and then see how the cranks line up  :daumenhoch:

The freewheel should be the same on all Skyway wheels, unless the spacing has been changed.
It doesn't seem to be used much on BMX's, but is common on all other bikes!

This is what it is for reference:

Anyway, done now, thanks.
