As the number suggests, 142mm is 7mm wider than the dropouts on your frame. Also the Surge is 135x10mm, so you have to have either normal quick release or 10mm bolt up,
142x12mm simply won’t fit
. If it’s a wheel you’ve already got, check with the manufacturer to see if they sell adapters or a different width axle.
Are freewheel hubs universal?
Freewheel Threading
All recent freewheels and threaded hubs, regardless of where made, use ISO threading
. The older British and Italian standards use the same thread pitch but a very slightly different thread diameter, and are generally interchangeable.
Are bike hubs universal?
MTB hubs come in a wide variety of dimensions and types to fit multiple bike/fork/axle standards
and to suit different off-road disciplines.
How do I know what size rear hub I need?
Figure out the distance between the lock nuts (where the hub sits in the dropouts) – 100 or 110 mm is typical for the front. Most rear wheels are 126, 130, 135, or 142mm (for thru-axles). This is commonly referred to as the OLD (over locknut dimension). Take that number and divide by 2.
How do you measure hub size on a bike?
What size are fat bike hubs?
Centered in the frame like traditional bikes symmetrical fat-bikes most often use a
170mm hub spacing
. Referring to a fat-bike as “symmetrical” means that the rear triangle is symmetrical, like most traditional bikes, with equal spacing of the right and left dropouts from the centerline of the frame.
Are wheel hubs interchangeable?
Key Points about Wheel Hubs
It is possible to replace wheel hubs with either conventional or PreSet wheel hub assemblies from Consolidated Metco
, but PreSet hub assemblies offer easier installation and maintenance.
What kind of freehub do I have?
To determine if a sprocket is a freewheel or cassette system, remove the rear wheel from the bike. Find the tool fitting on the sprocket set. Spin the sprockets backwards.
If the fittings spin with the cogs, it is a cassette system with a freehub

Can you change the hub on a bike wheel?
Simple answer:
yes, but it’s not worth doing
. Cost of hub, spokes, nipples and having wheel rebuilt will exceed the cost of a new wheel. Even if you re-use the spokes a new wheel will still be cheaper. Wheel building requires special equipment, expertise and time to do correctly.
How do I know if I have a freewheel or cassette?
What is the difference between a freewheel and cassette hub?
What is the main difference between freewheel and cassette hub? The freewheel is a single-unit and the act of pedaling tightens the freewheel to the hub. Whereas the cassette hub is a set of gears (cogs) that slides onto a cassette and is held in place by a lock ring.
Are all freewheels the same size?
Reversing the rear wheel allows switching between Fixed/Free drivetrain, between two different size gears, or both.
Generally, the freewheel is selected to be the same size, or slightly larger (more teeth) than the fixed cog
.
What is hub size?
The outer diameter is the hub bore, while the inner diameter is the diameter of the vehicle hub itself
. For example: a hub-centric ring size of 73-67.1 would mean that the wheel center bore is 73 mm wide and the vehicle hub is 67.1 mm wide.
How do I choose a rear hub?
How do you measure hub spacing?
Hubs need to match the frame or fork they are used in.
The spacing of a frame/fork is measured from the inside surfaces of the dropouts, where they come into contact with the locknuts of the wheel’s axle
.
How do I know if a wheel will fit my bike?
How big is a 700c wheel?
All road and cyclocross bikes are built with 700c wheels, which are
29 inches

How do you measure a rear hub on a mountain bike?
What size are fat bike rims?
The essence of a fat bike is its rims and tires. Fat tires range in size from about 3.7in. to 5.2in., typically mounted to rims measuring
50–100mm
.
Are fat bike wheels stronger?
So when you buy fat bike wheelsets, you need to know the number of spokes, which is the number of holes.
The more spokes, the stronger the bike wheelsets
. The spokes also determine the feel of the wheel. Heavier spokes make the wheel harder but stronger, while lighter spokes do the opposite.
Are Onyx hubs worth it?
It works brilliantly for a rear bicycle hub

, yes, the only difference being with a 2wd there’s no axle going through it.
Do hub assemblies come with bearings?
The wheel bearings typically come as part of a larger wheel hub assembly package
.
Are wheel bearings universal?
Do Wheel Bearings Differ by Type of Car? Essentially,
the symptoms are universal to almost all vehicles
. The only difference would be variability in repair costs.
Are Freehubs interchangeable?
Most Shimano Freehub bodies are interchangeable
.
Can you use any freehub?
freehub standard accepts only XD cassettes
. There are 10, 11 and 12 speed cassette versions (same XD freehub body). Many wheel and hub manufacturers make XD compatible freehub bodies that can be screwed onto the hub instead of the old Shimano compatible freehub.
Where is the freehub on a bike?
The freehub is the ratcheting mechanism
attached to the rear hub
of most modern derailleur bike hubs. The freehub uses a splined cylinder to hold the cassette cogs. Inside the freehub mechanism will be bearings and a clutch system, usually ratcheting teeth and pawls. The cassette cogs have no moving parts.
