Interestingly I spoke to chainreactioncycles about converting the DT hub that Hugo recommended, solid axle and dismantling the hub etc...
I received this in reply,
*You will be hard pushed to get a 24h track hub and unfortunately we only stock 32h hubs. I gather that you are building a 24 carbon wheel so I have attached a link below to somewhere you may be able to get some.

The MTB option will not work whatsoever as it would be extremely dangerous to modify something that is not even close to what you are wanting it to do.*
Dangerous? Is it really that dangerous? I would have thought the forces exerted on the hub from disc braking would always exceed those of a track cyclist's thighs?
So, does anyone know of any other 20/24/28 hole track hubs other than suntour superbe and american classic?
Or alternatively does any one know what I would need to convert this to track?
