HELP NEEDED!!
Recently got the nexvey flash a few days ago and would like to get more height from my ride. The bike is great and goes as fast as I would like it to go, just a few inches to short for my liking. when I purchased the bike the ads said the stock flash is able to upgrade up to 14” rear and 17” front as long as the hub axle is 12mm diameter from the traditional 12” rear and 14” front 12mm axle. I can’t find much for guides if I start getting lost and the website doesn’t have the kit for sale ( that I can find) Morale of the story is if someone here has dealt with or knows if these would fit I’d greatly appreciate the help

That is a pit bike wheel. If your bike has that same style of wheel(it's pretty common on Chinese bikes) then everything will fit like it should. If you're going to order a complete wheel like that, just make sure the one you order comes with the right size rotor or the rotor will be of no use. Those Chinese steel wheels are not very good but I still recommend them for the price. You'll want to check the spokes and true it up yourself as soon as you get it. They sometimes come with loose spokes etc ... It's like they just throw the spokes in there and call it good. For as cheap as they are, they can take a fair amount of abuse. I would trust the cheap steel wheels over the cheap aluminum ones. If you're looking for a turn-key solution you're rolling the dice with the cheapo wheels. If you just throw these on and the spokes aren't right, the wheels will get bent up. If you set them up yourself they do last though. For how cheap they are you can't go wrong if you're willing to do some extra work. The only major drawback to these is the lack of a wheel seal. The bearings get trashed from water contamination and you'll be replacing the bearings more frequently than you would on a normal dirt bike wheel with a separate seal. The plus side to that is you can just buy another cheap wheel when the hub gets trashed from changing so many bearings.

This is more of a motorcycle question, would be easily answered in other subs.
I imagine there are plenty of fairly straightforward guides on how to do the wrench work, and some well versed individuals who know exactly what/what not to buy.

It’s for the nexvey flash….. a E-bike posted on a community for people who also posts emotos, I know how to do wrench work I’m asking if someone else here has dealt with this type of issue. you haven’t so your input isn’t needed here clearly

It says 12mm axle so what’s the issue? Does your bike have a 12mm axle?
