• 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.

    That is interesting.

    I'd like someone informed to give an opinion, but in my head:

    • a mtb front hub takes lots of abuse (or maybe it doesn't because of the sus?)
    • the disc side of the hub potentially has a lot of force going through it
    • a hub is hardly a complex piece of kit, therefore as long as your using it for roughly the same purpose, modifying it in a minor way won't seriously effect it.

    The only thing I can possibly think is that a front hub isn't designed to take the majority of a riders weight the way a rear is....and especially at that low a spoke count.

    Or alternatively does any one know what I would need to convert this to track?

    • A solid track axle and nuts - ie one you can use nuts and not QR - I guess the trouble / hard part is finding one;
    • 10mm of spacers (if you have 120mm dropouts); and
    • velosolo bolt-on cog.




    So, does anyone know of any other 20/24/28 hole track hubs other than suntour superbe and american classic?

    Custom.
