Hi Everyone,


I have a first generation Big Block I gave to my brother to use. Long story short, I am missing the wheels and rear hub. So I need to find some new wheels. I am mechanically inclined, I work and ride dirtbikes, but I am not familiar with bike mechanics much. Such as is a lockring 1 standard size, or does this brand cog fit my All-City? etc. Is it a different reverse thread lockring for he freewheel side?


1. What size hub do I need 130mm or 120mm?

2. Looks like the All-City Lockrings are sold out everywhere I look, along with 16t-18t cogs. Any ideas?

3. What size wheels do you recommend for flip/flop setup? what spokes will I need f need? Do they come with nipples?


I am in small farm town / bike path riding environments and looking for some speed and good exercise. Would like to try and do some tricks!

Hub size should be 100mm front and 120mm rear

Recommend you visit Velomine.com. Great deals on wheels.

For wheelsets, Can I just buy a pair ready to throw onto the bike? Do I just need a 100mm front and 120mm rear with 700c wheels?

What spoke length will I need for the All City Track hubs and CR-18 700c wheels?



I dont know how wheel sets will match up to the big block so I didnt focus on wheelsets. What should I be matching up?

Anything from here would work: https://www.velomine.com/index.php?m...6g83495k6fi0s3 It'll probably save you money over building wheels, unless you already have the hubs and rims you want to use.

I cant find the All-City Standard Rear Hub in 120mm, only 130mm. Will that still work?

Thanks

They have three fixed hubs: New Sheriff, Standard Track, and Standard Track 130

Call your Local Bike Shops, one of them almost definitely deals with a distributor that deals with All City and can get you one of the non-130 hubs.

Or hit one of the frequently recommended web shops. Retrogression.com is pretty popular around here, and has truly earned that popularity from what I can tell.

No, but you don't need an All City hub. Any 120mm track hub will do.

Yaa, just trying to keep it all All-City.

What flip flop hub do you recommend?

I've been using Gran Compe for a few years and have no complaints. They're good bang for buck.
