Anyone know the sizes of the Lefty hub/axle?
Looking to use one on the bike I'm making for my daughter (one the rear with some adapters to run a singlespeed freewheel and disc rotor).
A tech drawing would be perfect ๐Ÿ™‚

I think it depends what year / style it is. When I sold my lefty hub I had loads of questions over what version it was.

Couldn't you just use a normal 15mm front hub? If you had a short axle and made a blanking cap to replace the hub axle adaptors I imagine it'd be more than tough enough for a kids bike.

I did think about a normal hub but the Lefty has a nice big bearing.
Looking into it a bit more, all the 16" rims I can find are 20h so I might have to make a hub to suit.
Can make it to suit whatever I come up with, rather than designing around available parts?
