Front nutted disc hub 36h

Posted on
  • Solid axle

    It seems like it's harder than it should be to find a hub like this.
    Novatec hubs I've come across have codes like D763SBT or D043SBT.

  • Anyone got any ideas?

    I could settle for something cheap and nasty if it meets the spec.
    I've only found one of those Novatec offerings for sale, in the EU though.

  • Solid axle

    Why? If you just want to bolt a hub into 9mmร—100mm fork ends, it might be easier to get adapters made and use a through-bolt style hub.

  • Why?

  • Then my suggestion stands. Get a batch of adaptors made up, then you're only tied to a general axle spec (15x100 is probably best) so if the hub you pick now become obsolete you can change to any other of the the same spec

  • Damn. But these things exist. At least Novatac was fitted to bikes as late as a couple of years ago. Oh right and did I mention, the dropout spacing is 107mm, yep, with a spacer fitted from factory ๐Ÿ˜‘ with a 10mm ID, although that can easily be modified I suppose.๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

  • Yeah the whole thing is a cargobike shaped object if I'm honest but I'm stuck with the problem, at least for now.

  • Novatac was fitted to bikes as late as a couple of years ago

    There will be an OEM hub which does what you want, because supermarket bikes with dick breaks still come with nutted axles in 9mm fork ends. I still think getting a machinist to make adapters is going to be easier than getting an OEM account with Joy Industry or Kun Teng ๐Ÿ™‚You can even get the spacer built in to make them even more idiot proof.

  • Gawd I'm going to have to see how much this will cost then.

  • Iโ€™ve done this with a Superstar Switch front hub plus a 9mm solid axle and track nuts, which I think is what youโ€™re after?

    Rebranded Novatec D881SB

  • But I'd much rather 9.5mm or 10mm.

    I'm doing a swap with some older XT hubs that have a 10mm axle. Annoyingly I did this a couple of years ago and just completely forgot ๐Ÿ˜…
