Frequently asked questions
Forks
Q: “Will these forks fit my bike?”
All Lawless forks are built for 1-1/8″ threadless headsets. Measure your current steerer tube diameter to find what size you have, or send us photos and we’ll confirm. Front hubs: our standard-width trees fit 100mm front hubs; wide-XL trees fit 135mm front hubs. Measure your hub’s O.L.D. (over-locknut distance) to confirm width.
Q: “What leg and steerer lengths do you offer?”
Our legs come in 29″ length and can be cut down to fit your desired stance. Complete forks include an 11″ steerer tube (also cut to size), and 15″ XL steerers are available separately.
Sprockets
Q: “Will this sprocket fit my BMX?”
We don’t recommend our sprockets for BMX. They’re made for show use and light riding, and they’ll contact most BMX chainstays.
Q: “Do you make other sprockets besides 44T?”
No: 44T is the only size we offer, and we don’t do custom tooth counts.
Bottom Brackets
Q: “Which bottom bracket do I need?”
Our bottom brackets are made for US/American shells; Euro shells can fit using adapters. Measure your bottom bracket shell diameter to determine your size: the shell width sets your required spindle size.
Q: “What size spindle or BB spacers do I need?”
Spindle length is determined by your BB shell width and rear wheel size. You’ll need to measure your own setup and we can help recommend a spindle size (4″+ rear wheels require an XL spindle). Send measurements or photos and we can assist.
Shifter Covers
Q: “Which shifters do your covers fit?”
Our shifter covers are designed for 3-speed Nexus and Sturmey-Archer twist grips: 7-speed will not fit. They fit the Nexus SL-3S35 and SL-3S41E and the Sturmey-Archer TSS33 twist shifters. Note your shifter model before ordering, or ask us and we’ll confirm compatibility.
Clamp Sizes
Q: “What clamp size do I need for my frame?”
Measure the outside diameter of the tube where the clamp mounts: 1″ and 1.5″ are the most common: and match it to the clamp’s listed size on the product page. Between sizes or not sure? Send us the measurement and a photo and we’ll confirm. We also have a video showing how to measure diameter without calipers on our How-To page.
International Shipping
Q: “Do you ship internationally?”
Yes: we ship internationally, with a dealer in Australia. International orders are handled by manual quote and invoice, and may be subject to import duties and taxes at delivery. Reach out for a shipping quote before you order.
Sponsorships
Q: “How do I apply for sponsorship?”
Fill out our sponsorship form with your build and riding details. We look for riders and builders who represent the Lawless style: send photos of your bike and tell us where you ride.
Motorized / E-Bike
Q: “Can I run your parts on a motorized or e-bike build?”
Some of our parts hold up to motorized and e-bike use and some don’t: it comes down to the specific part and how much power and torque you’re running. As a rule, we don’t recommend our sprockets or crank arms for motorized or e-bike builds. Before you build, tell us which parts you’re planning to use and the details of your motor/setup, and we’ll let you know what we do and don’t recommend.
Custom Builds
Q: “How long does a custom build take?”
Lead time is typically 6–8 weeks depending on parts and the queue. Custom finishes like anodizing or Cerakote add another 3–4 weeks. We’ll confirm a timeline when you place your order.
Q: “Do you do e-bike or motorized conversions?”
No: we don’t offer any motorized services. Our bikes can be motorized, but it can require some custom fabrication, so we recommend consulting a bike shop about parts, compatibility, and performing the conversion.
Custom Parts
Q: “Can you make custom parts?”
We don’t take on one-off parts, but we do offer custom work at larger quantities (minimum ~15–20 pieces). Email us at info@lawlessbicycles.com with your inquiry and we’ll see what’s possible.
