Other half is after a disc brake rear wheel for turbo use.
After something unwanted in 135mm QR guise.

Preferably something totally unwanted/free cycle/beers.

KT6/EC1 - open to travel.

I may be being slow but why does it matter if it's disc for the turbo - surely it doesn't need any kind of braking, and all that matters is rear wheel spacing to fit the frame?

(Not that I have anything but just curious, and it might broaden the search criteria if non-disc would also work)

Good question, rim hubs are normally 130mm and this is 135mm.
A quick google shows some cheap adaptors around. I'll have to dig around for any rim wheels at the back of the garage.

Use a pad spacer if you run a non-disc wheel with hydraulic brakes, in case an inadvertent grab of the brake lever pops the calliper pistons out.
