I have a 16t Shimano one you can use for it. I'll want it back once you are done though. I've overhauled it about four or five times, so I see no reason not to keep doing so.

It's currently packed with Phill Wood greese, so it's pretty well set for the lake jump idea.

bmx hubs = metric thread = bmx freewheel
standard hubs = american thread = standard freewheel

Not really. My BMX FW works on a regular road threaded hub (and has).

I think you are talking about flip-flop hubs, which are M30x1 thread and used to be the only way to get anything smaller than a 16 tooth on the rear of a BMX bike.

i stand corrected.
i thought most bmx hubs came with a M30x1 thread. anyway, all the shitty 110 spaced bmx hubs that i've worked on have been.

nevertheless, note there is a difference, and i was simply trying to bring that difference to light.

This is very true, although some have been trying to get the BMX community to accept 120mm spacing. It's a good idea being stronger and all.
