jimmy hardtail Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 That frame takes a 68 mm bb and a 150x12 rear hub. I should know, its my old frame! The rear axle that you should have got with it is a 170x12 engine bolt with two 50 cent pieces with holes in them as washers. And it had a manitou swinger 6 way rear damper on it which has a pro pedal platform but it is still a beatch to pedal uphill...
Reden Posted March 6, 2016 Author Posted March 6, 2016 Thanks.I have no issues making the axle out of aluminium. It's finding a hub that proves difficult.
Reden Posted March 7, 2016 Author Posted March 7, 2016 Pic please. My first 26" MTB was a Giant Sedona, 1992 model.Still in good condition.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Thanks.I have no issues making the axle out of aluminium. It's finding a hub that proves difficult.No, the hub should be easy! Normal 150x12mm dh hub. Commonly available from Hope. If i remember correctly, Stefan Garlicki had a set of wheels for sale with that rear hub... Check on WPDH classifieds facebook page. Also, mountain bikers do it downhill
Duane_Bosch Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Thanks.I have no issues making the axle out of aluminium. It's finding a hub that proves difficult.I have a set of Chris King hubs for sale of you're keen. But they are probably more expensive than the rest of the bike combined.

popcorn_skollie Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Im pretty sure the Sherman is 20mm. i could be wrong though.
CdT85 Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Im pretty sure the Sherman is 20mm. i could be wrong though.+1 on that. I think it is a 20mm as well
Reden Posted March 8, 2016 Author Posted March 8, 2016 +1 on that. I think it is a 20mm as wellYes 20mm and the fork looks brand new too. Seems to have never been used.
