BMX wheels
Hi,

got a new rear sprocket for my nephews bmx. takes rear wheel out to find the sprocket just falls off. the sprocket is ok but the thread on the rear hub has gone missing.

looks like the wheels are so cheap spares aren't available so I suspect its going to be a new set of wheels,

can anyone recommend any - these are the cheapest of cheap plastic jobs. I'm thinking go for the traditional spokes?

only cheap please as the bike is probably worth less than some cheap wheels.

thanks.

Be careful as there are different axle sizes.... Just go to your 'quality' bike shop. (NOT Halfords, I said quality)!

Just head down your local tip, probably be able to pull a bmx or two out of one of the skips with all the bits you need...
