let or right hand drive.

[nathan7]

Hey i just got some new cranks and there left or right hand drive compatible. So i was wondering is there any difference in lhd to rhd, except for the look. Thanks

 

[avoca_boy]

well ones on the left and ones on the right haha
on a serious note I think you'll find that your hub is not birectional anyway so the conversion is impossibe. Hope that helps

theres no difference, but if your on a mtb and have brakes you can only run right side drive as the brake mounts are on the left.
unless you have v brakes or running brakeless then you can do whatever you want

Left hand drive is typically used when people like to grind on the right side of their bike and prefer to put the drive train out of harm's way.

It's pretty much a BMX thing, which is also why you should only see pegs on one side of a BMX unless they ride flatland...

Unless you have BMX spacing then you won't be able to run LHD.

Left hand drive... (firstly, left has an 'F' in it if you didn't already know...)

Well, it is totally over rated on a mtb.. Unless you are actually using the advantage of keeping it out of the way with grinds and stalls, so unless your a total street / park rat, there is no point to it what so ever..

Firstly LHD is where its at!

I prefer the term park royalty.

With that note im gona go and weld new brake tabs the the right hand side on my frame so i can represent the LHD.

Won't be possible, I don't think. LHD 135mm hubs don't exist.

 

[dh911]

be REALLY original...leave the RHD hub on, turn it around, and pedal backwards everywhere....... hahah

You can space out a bmx hub to fit though. A guy on ride street used to have a .243 that had a odyssey lhd hub he'd spaced out.
