FIT Bike Co 26" Covid Cruiser Rear Wheel

Product Overview

The FIT 26" Covid Cruiser Rear Wheel is a complete rear wheel built with a double-wall rim, sealed flip-flop hub, and stainless steel spokes. The flip-flop hub allows use as either a freewheel or fixed-gear setup, providing versatility for cruiser riders. Available in silver and black finishes without freewheel included.

Key Features

• Double-wall rim construction – Reinforced rim design increases strength and impact resistance compared to single-wall rims while maintaining reasonable weight
• Flip-flop sealed hub – Dual-threaded hub accepts freewheel on one side and fixed cog on the other, allowing riders to switch between coasting and fixed-gear setups by flipping the wheel
• 14-gauge stainless steel spokes – Corrosion-resistant spokes with adequate thickness for durability without excessive weight, suitable for cruiser riding demands
• Brass nipples – Durable spoke nipples resist corrosion and maintain tension better than aluminum during wheel adjustments and long-term use
• High-flange hub design – 36-hole drilling pattern with high flanges provides stronger spoke bracing angle for improved lateral stiffness and wheel strength
• Sealed bearings – Cartridge bearings protect internal components from dirt and moisture, reducing maintenance frequency
• Standard 3/8" axle – 110mm spacing fits most BMX cruiser frames with conventional horizontal dropouts

Compatibility and Ideal Use Cases

This wheel fits 26" BMX cruiser frames with 110mm rear spacing and 3/8" axle dropouts. The flip-flop hub requires a separate freewheel (BC1.37 x 24T threading, commonly found on BMX freewheels) or fixed cog for operation—freewheel is not included and must be purchased separately. Verify your frame's rear spacing and axle size before ordering. Ideal for cruiser riders who want a durable sealed hub wheel with the option to run freewheel or fixed-gear configurations. Suitable for cruising, commuting, and general riding where reliability and low maintenance are priorities. The 36-spoke build provides strength for larger riders or those who want extra durability over standard 32-spoke wheels.
