Nankai bamboo axle to female axle
« on: January 26, 2012, 03:53:40 AM »
do you think this  http://www.syndicatebikes.com/en/?p=160  mod could be done to a nankai bamboo 14mm axle?
"sh*t + talkers = stalkers lol"

Sold my bike to emigrate to Canada and still waiting for a Visa to work. Worst mistake EVER!

You will need somethings like these, if your running pegs and 14mm drop outs:

I'm having Zodiac sex change a Reverse Axle to stick in my Geisha hub(should have it in a week or so). I think a Nankai Bamboo would be much more simple and better,TBH. It's on my wish list, one day... So yes, for sure if can be done.

The real test is to convert a 10mm axle to female.  >:D

For a 3/8” axle you will probably need something like this: :beer:

I hear Harry Potter has been doing that conversion for some time. ;D :)
