Looked at Phil, goldtec, WI, on-one etc.. but sadly no luck chuck. :-(
hmmm.. screwing a track cog onto a SS hub will be fine because you have 2 brakes to save your ass if it ever starts to unscrew.
Perhaps that is why they all sell 135mm Disc / SS hubs and don't see a gap in the market? -

true i could do it suicide style with a bottom bracket lockring i recon i could get a mount
made that srews on to the other side of a fixed fixed hub so u could attach a disc onto it with a lockring but i will probably take the back brake off eventually -

White Industries do a range of eccentric hubs that turn any frame into a SS or fixie.
They do them in disc or "normal" in all hub sizes.
A bit dear but I've had one for 2 years and use it daily with no problems.
A very very nice bit of kit.

haha, that's mental for a hub!
i've got one of these if you're interested:
It's in good nic, hasn't been ridden much (road use only), the bearings feel nice and smooth to me and disc mount hasn't been used either.

Surly make a 135mm Fixed rear hub with ISO disk mounting on the other side.

I've seen one built up with a disk on one side and fixed cog + lockring on the other.
I even considered it for my DMR build before I bought the Hope Pro2s -

yeah i looked on the website but cant seem to see anything im sure on one used to do one but cant see that either that other ones quite intresting but quite pricey to

What about getting some cant bosses put on the inbread? that would solve your rear brake problem and give you more options?

As far as i know, Phil are the only company doing fixed/disc hubs. the traisl ones aren;t designed for fixed use as the bikes have a freewheel in the BB and I wouldn't trust alloy splines for fixed mtb. You can buy a disc adaptor for a fixed hub that screws on one side and carries the rotor. If you think about it the braking forces are taken by the hub, not lockring, so it should be reasonably secure. I would rotafix a disc/freewheel hub though because, as P-rad said, you'll have two brakes to stop you if the cog slips and it's the cheapest and easiest solution.

scott not scot just run without a rear brake.....i run my off road fix with just a front brake and have never had any problems.....remember..it's far easier to lock up a back wheel on dirt than on tarmac....seriously....you won't need one.
Likewise, the only reason I have a rear brake is because I use mine as a 4x bike too. When I take it fixed I generally remove the rear brake.

but skidding off road too much is not good, too much trail erosion.
-
• #21
the 1 problem is its more than double the price
-
• #22
but say you convert the hub then build the wheel wouldn't that remove the dish problem

does one exist ive been thinking of getting a 29er on one inbred with sliding dropouts and
want to build it up fixed with 2 brakes but its disc only so need a hub that accommodates
both a fixed cog and a disc
