Im building a single speed mini velo with 20inch bmx wheels.

Right now Im at the process on building its wheels and I was thinking on getting bmx hubs instead of ‘normal size bike wheel hubs’ because they are cheaper.

Are there any downsides on doing that? Is there a substantial difference between these two types or it is just a marketing thing?

If i had to guess, I’d say the BMX hubs will be a lot heavier due to them being used for jumping a lot.
