Has anyone use a 20mm front disc hub on the rear?

I am planing on making up a 20mm X 130mm axle and spacers.

the axle threaded 10mm X 1,25mm to take some standard bolts...

anyone done it? found any problems..

why? i have the bits.

Take a look at the VeloSolo website, their shop is closed for today (I guess softwate/server upgrades or something?) but they sell kits and ready converted hubs, and sprockets ready drilled to go where the disc would normally go. Hope that helps...

thanks, yes i am very aware of VeloSolo and their hubs are converted XT hubs. and i have one of their cogs on the way to me at the moment.

Ok then I guess no one has done this or there have been no issues.

when done i will report back.

Have a read of this thread. Axle length seems to be the main issue.

cheers Hippy not seen that topic. But i was looking to see more of an issue with bearings etc..
the axle is the easy bit. Lathe and some ally stock sorted. make up a couple of spacers 5 and 10mm and job is a good one.

46mm chain line and a couple of allen headed Bolts screwed into the axle sorted.

cheers.

well picked up the conversion today

forgot to mention the material..... but the new axle will not rust!

just need to check the chainline but it should be just about right but i have rotor spacers to tweek if needed.

jesus, beefy! what frame is that? can we get a side on picture to see how the tension works?

Sorry what kind of axle are you using - alu? What frame is this.

what hub ?

the hub is a Diatec 20mm front MTB hub, but any 20mm front hub will give the same results.

the axle material..... I really should have mentioned it to them when disusing the sizes and tolerances. well I forgot but it ended up as a not bad error as they used some chrome steel from a hydraulic piston assy (like you see on the front of a JCB).

Note the axle finishes inside the frame the 2 Allen bolts are what site in the dropouts.

Vélo just a generic frame with Horizontal drops. Well they cab be swapped out for vertical if wanted.

more pics later.

there is the drop out, not at this moment planning on using any tensioners BUT the frame came with some and has cut-outs to locate the bolt, but using then would effect the rear hub bearings as they would not be pressing fully on the spacers.

So it may be back to the drawing board for a shorter axle but with screw in stub axle ends to allow the tensioners to be used.

but lets see how Mk1 goes first.

Mmm need to make something or increase the friction on the drop outs.

thanks for the ish heads up.
