Title: Hub question
Post by: Nosnod on November 19, 2005, 02:26 PM

Excuse my ignorance  :-[

Is a 'flip flop' hub simply a hub that has both sides threaded to accept a freewheel on each side?

Are they any wider, or will they fit OK on an Old School frame?

On mine one side will take a old school size freewheel of no smaller than 16 t, whilst the other will accept the smaller new school size of freewheel which goes down to 13t  ;)

Correct Bill, and some are the same size on both side. ;)
