So the Grime crew teamed up with Sadio Bike Co. to make a 14mm axle fixed hub. Ed and Mike have tested them out and put them through hell. Know they are out for the public and if your a grinder I would suggest you look into these. Solid!
There's also this conversion kit that Profile made, its not 14mm axel, but its a 15mm bolt and 3/8" axle. Very smart of them to make this because now when other companies make 14mm conversion kits (like The Grime) you can just upgrade to them without switching your hubs, that is if you already have profile hubs.
Specialized also made a hub with 14mm axels. There's also a fixed-bolt on cog that has been adopted from BMX. I haven't heard of any news when this is coming out, and I'm guessing its nearing the end of the prototype stages along with their frame. The Wheel Talk crew has been testing these two things out for quite a while, I suggest you check them out at Prolly's for a little sneek peek, and also give Specialized a look.
I'm not even going to get into this. Resist has come out with a hub that accommodates a 14mm axel hub too. It seems like they came into the game late, but still got their product out faster than others. Maybe I'm wrong, but from the news I've heard thats what seems like happened.
