On the new Tuffs, it says you can run them 14mm or 3/8. How is this accomplised? I would like to run 14mm rear and 3/8 front, is this possible?

Thanks,
Whiskey

Also, what is the smallest freewheel you can run?

I believe they have no axle on them like regular wheelsets. Instead, they have a bolt that screws into the hub, thus making them fit onto either dropout size.

yeah jeff is correct, the newer ones come with bolt in screws, and different washer kits for the different sized dropouts. you can get flip flop hubbed tuffs now so you can run them down to a 13 tooth, i think the flip flop hubbed tuffs are only available in black.

yep. easiest way to describe the hubs is that they are similar to Bullseyes - allen bolts into hollow axles.

The flip flop rear tuffs have the original pass through axle, so you would need andys nuts to run them on 14mm drop outs.

By the way, the rare flip-flop Tuff uses quad bearings.

They use lightweight 3/8" axles.

The convertable hub on the Graphs is the roxxor!

I can't believe you guys know my wheels in such detail. I send folks to this board all the time. I tell them you all know the history and current products as well as I do!

Thanks for the support!

The convertable hubs only run regular freewheels.
You will need a converter kit if you want to run a small freewheel on the quad-bearing flip flop hubs with the smaller freewheels.

Just sayin'

/don't even know how to turn a wrench.
I wish Bill Curtin was in this thread.
