Question:

can you change your front wheel into a back wheel(bmx)?

i want to change my front wheel into a back wheel can this be done and how?

Answer:

Maybeprobably. If you're just wanting to use the front hub and throw on a different axle/freewheel then no, that's impossible. But if you want to disassemble the wheel, re-use the rim and lace it to a rear hub, then yes, you can do that. You may have to get new spokes if the new rear hub requires a different length than what was used with your front hub (same rim), but that just depends on what you get. It's a job for a skilled mechanic and if you've never done any wheel building I wouldn't suggest that you try it out this time, especially for a rear wheel. Besides, you'll probably find out that it will be much cheaper to just buy a new complete rear wheel once you add up all the costs involved. Hope that helpsif you decide you want to buy the parts and try it, and need more help, just post up again. :o)
