Any question answered...

Sure. Whereas you get confused at the "Please press 1 to speak to an operator" and have to come back to the forum to ask for help.

Cat fight!

My cat would kick shit out of his cat. Unfortunately the new immo laws means it has to stay in Oz.

So, unable to back up your assertion then?

To be fair my older cat is very soppy

I did think about bringing him over years ago but he was already a stray in Melbourne and has been relocated a couple of times. He's living out his gangster retirement in sunny Mildy.

Anyone know of any shops in london that are likely to sell a fixed disk brake hub?

Once many years ago. Same bloke also had dreads down to his knees

thick or thin ones?

Have you ever even seen such a product in the metal? Phil Wood makes one, part number HDK536 for 32h, HDK636 for 36h, but the chances of anybody actually having one in stock is about zero. Condor sell Phil, so they should be able to order one in.

If it's needed a: quickly and b: cheaply, a Deore hub and a Surly Fixxer will do the job.

Ive never seen one in the flesh. only heard about them online! I know that surly do one although i saw the
picture of it and it doesnt seem to have a lockring thread even tho on the website it calls it a fixed gear disk hub.
I was kind of hoping to see one in the flesh just to double check its correct before I splash out. Paul also do one but it something like £140

Thanks for the deore/fixxer info. will look into it!

Is there any such thing as a screw on disk brake mount that could be screwed onto a fixed fixed hub? or am I just making things up now?

Think your making that up.

It has been mooted in discussions about making a fixed disc hub - take a fixed/free hub and screw an adaptor onto the freewheel thread. I don't think anybody has gone in to commercial production, but it would be a trivial task for any ordinary machine shop to make one. Just a cylinder of metal with a female 1.370x24 thread and 6 equispaced M5 holes on whatever the ISO PCD is. Screwed on brakes are known to work, it's common practice on tandems.

I've heard of it. And it would work if you have a double sided hub. Preferably a freewheel as you'd have more threads to spread the stress over. Getting some made wouldn't be too difficult but getting a single one made would be a bit more difficult or bloody expensive.

I think my easiest bet is to get a freewheel disk brake hub and just be ss, or htfu and stay brakklesss

Some trials bikes have the freewheel mechanism in the cranks/bottom bracket do they not?

Therefore (if the above is true) it would be logical to think that there might be a fixed/disc hub available for this arrangement.

does anyone have a login for the Which? website. I need to check some reviews in there.
Thanks

Or use a v brake.

bike has no v brake mounts, also the rims have no brake surface.

could someone be sued for giving shit/dangerous advice on the interwebz?

i am wondering about the potential legal ramifications of some of the facetious comments made by many of us here

Or use a v brake.

On One do a 135mm fixed hub pretty cheap (not a disc hub though).

This database of hubs is from 63xc.com.

Does anyone have access to scholarly journal sites? I need access to this article:

Please PM, I might forget to check here.

I'm pretty sure it would be easy and fairly cheap, I'm sure my tame machinist would be able to knock one up for less than £50, which, depending on the hub, might be a cheaper route than the MTB hub/Fixxer route.
