135mm, cup and cone disc brake rear singlespeed hubs

Hi, what are the options for rear hubs for my genesis day one? It must be 135 mm and take a disc brake and I'd prefer cup and cone bearings over cartridge. Forged body would be better than machined (imho).32or 36h. Looking for value rather than boutique brands. So far I have found the quando KT-TD8R and not much else. I think this is the hub fitted to the most recent day ones. Am I missing other good options? I suppose an alternative is MTB freehub and spacer kit

Thanks.

I have a pair of Chris King Single Speed iso disc hubs BNIB make me an offer

Does this make you #buyer or #seller?

How about 21 posted, like the kt-td8r? 😀

DMR seems like good value. Novatec makes one as well (don´t know if its cup and cone though).

I'm also in the market for one so I'm following this thread with interest

DMR ok but cartridge bearings. Triple the price of the quando. Cold forged is good.

Novatec. Also forged but also cartridge bearings.

shimano xt 756? I think it's circa £25 plus spacer kit

what's the matter with cartridge? only asking, because i found cup and cone to be a royal pain in the arse in every way.. with cartridge you just ride the hell out of the factory ones and then install some high end stuff and forget them..

Yes xt or LX MTB hubs are another option. Sacrifice on spoke angle angle though due to the offset compared to a singlespeed hub, and weight I think.

robust though and plentiful spares

If you cannot adjust them you might well say c&c are a pain in every way. However you can service them with just a pair of cone spanners, grease and a few ball bearings if required. They are angular contact bearings with preload which deal better with the lateral loads a rear hub sees in use. They have larger balls such can take a higher load. They can be well sealed, although they're not in all cases. You can routinely service them to extend the life. You can use different greases or even oil depending on your needs. You can also use higher grade balls than fitted as stock.

On the other hand cartridges are a straight swap with no fine, potentially tricky and slow adjustment required. They might require other tools to replace, although you can generally manage without these. They're not designed to be serviced, rather to be replaced, although again, people do pop off the seals, flush and relube. Replacement cost is pounds rather than pence for loose balls.

I've had both. Got fancy cartridge bearings on my skateboard. Find them both OK. Slightly prefer C&C on balance for bike hubs as per the above. I happily use a cartridge bearing bottom bracket, partly because the angular contact in a cup cone BB is the wrong way round.

Another alternative is to fit a disc brake adapter that is 1.37x24TPI threaded and will therefore attach to the fixed side of a flipflop hub.

Not much use when the OP stated they wanted a 135mm hub. Trying to make a track hub fit a 135mm frame with anything approaching decent chainline is a fool’s errand.

Haha, you are the OP. Oops.

Haha, good advice nonetheless.

Maybe an xt 756 hub and cassette spacer and cog kit is the best option.
