FREE 3 spoke rear wheels

[Dukedesmo]

Agreed on the hub width possibly being different but my (5.5") rear wheel had the 25mm setup when I bought it. I converted it to 17mm with bearings and spacer for it and then fitted it with the sprocket carrier from a 4.5" wheel and it works fine - though I did have problems with chain alignment that I had to resolve by spacing the rear sprocket out and front in so maybe that was why?

As for the front AFAIK it can be done, again you need the central spacer along with the bearings but also the speedo drive ring (if using a mech speedo) as it's bigger on a 25mm axle, might also be different ratio?

Got a spacer as Neil at Cornerspeed kindly gave me one FOC ages back - not sure on the speedo as want the stock clock set up but only if it works properly might have to look for a digital one that fits the hole.
