Crupi OS20 36H CenterLock Wheelset
Description
The Crupi OS20 36H CenterLock Wheelset is an all-new 2026 build engineered specifically for OS20 BMX frames, delivering race-ready performance from the ground up. At its core is Crupi's Quad CenterLock hubset, featuring 150 ratchet teeth that engage every 2.4 degrees - making it one of the fastest Spring and Pawl engagement systems in BMX racing today. The 451mm Rhythm Section rims are race tested and laced with 14G spokes and alloy nipples for a build that's both stiff and durable under competition demands.
What sets this wheelset apart is its versatility: the front hub accepts either a standard 3/8" or 20mm axle, and the CenterLock hub system is disc brake-compatible with the addition of an adapter kit. Whether you're building up an OS20 race machine or upgrading an existing setup, this wheelset is the definitive performance choice for serious OS20 BMX riders.
Key Features
- Quad CenterLock Hub - 150 Ratchet Teeth: Engages every 2.4 degrees for near-instant power transfer - one of the fastest Spring and Pawl systems in BMX.
- 451mm Rhythm Section Rims: Race-tested 36H OS20 rims laced with 14G spokes and alloy nipples for maximum rigidity and reliability.
- Interchangeable Front Axle: Front hub converts between standard 3/8" (10mm) and 20mm thru-axle - choose your axle size at time of order to match your fork.
- Disc Brake Compatible: CenterLock hub system supports disc brake conversion; also compatible with V-Brakes. CenterLock ISO Converter and Disc Brake Adapter Kit sold separately.
- 4 Cog Spacers Included: Fine-tune cog positioning for the best possible chain alignment with your specific drivetrain setup.
- Chromoly 16T Cog Included: Ships with a 16T chromoly steel cog; additional cog sizes (13T-18T) available at a small upcharge.
- Weight - 3 lbs 14 oz: No rider weight limit, built to handle the rigors of BMX racing at any level.
- OS20 Frame Compatibility: Designed for OS20 frames; most standard Pro 20" forks also fit, so an OS20-specific fork is not required.
- American Valve Compatible: Wheels require American valve (Schrader) tubes.
- Color Options: Black rims with Red or Blue hub/nipple accent options available alongside full Black build.
Axle Options & Which to Choose
- OS20 36H with 3/8" Front: Uses a standard 3/8" (10mm) front axle - the most universal option, compatible with the vast majority of BMX forks including most standard Pro 20" forks. Best for riders building on a traditional fork setup.
- OS20 36H with 20mm Front: Features a 20mm thru-axle front hub for added stiffness and a more secure front-end feel. Best for riders running a 20mm-compatible fork who want maximum rigidity out front.

FAQ
Are these wheels compatible with a standard 20" BMX frame?
No - the Crupi OS20 wheelset uses 451mm OS20 rims and is designed specifically for OS20 BMX frames. The OS20 wheel size is larger than a standard 20" BMX wheel (406mm), so it will not fit standard 20" BMX frames. Most standard Pro 20" forks will, however, accept the OS20 wheel, so you don't necessarily need an OS20-specific fork - but an OS20 frame is required.
What is the difference between the 3/8" and 20mm front axle options?
The 3/8" (10mm) axle is the standard BMX front axle size and works with the vast majority of BMX forks. The 20mm thru-axle option provides a stiffer, more secure front-end connection and is used with forks that have 20mm dropouts. Make sure to check your fork's axle spec before ordering. If you're unsure, the 3/8" option is the most universally compatible choice.
Can I use this wheelset with disc brakes?
Yes - the Quad CenterLock hub is disc brake compatible. To use disc brakes, you'll need to add a Crupi Disc Brake Adapter Kit (sold separately). The wheelset is also compatible with V-Brakes right out of the box. The CenterLock ISO Converter is also sold separately if needed for your setup.
Can I change the cog size from the included 16T?
Yes - when placing your order you can select a different cog size ranging from 13T to 18T for a small upcharge. If you want to keep the included 16T chromoly cog, no additional cost applies. Additional Crupi cassette cogs are also available separately if you want to swap gearing down the road.
What tubes do these wheels require?
The Crupi OS20 wheelset requires American valve (Schrader) tubes - the same style used on car tires and common BMX tubes. Be sure to source 451mm OS20-compatible tubes, as standard 20" BMX tubes will not fit correctly.
