Fixed free flip flop hub for mountain bike

After searching the forum, ive foud it difficult to find a fixed/free mountain bike specific rear hub, i found this http://www.velosolo.co.uk/shoptrack.html but am struggling to find something a little more seductive..... Does anybody out there know any other hubs that are about?

what you need is a normal mountain bike rear hub, with a single speed cog+spacers on one side, and a velosolo bolt on fixed cog on the disk side. and then use a rim brake when your running it single speed... :)

I kind of knew that method but was wondering whether there was a specific hub where you didnt have to convert it with spacers and wotnot....

I've got a hope jump disc wheel, has a weird freewheel set up so getting new cogs might be a pain. Dont use that side though tbh, just a bolt on cog

You can always build a wheel

Actually not sure if they chainline would be any good on both sides of that hub if converted.

Maybe you could line it up fixed, and it may be a little off in SS, or dish the wheel? Never know, might work.

What you're looking for is a 135mm wide hub with freewheel thread on one side and disc brake on the other? It doesn't exist. The screw-on freewheel went redundant way before disc brakes became popular on bikes. You can either convert a standard 120mm fixed/free flipflop hub with a longer axle and space it out, or just take the easy route: a MTB hub with Velosolo cog bolted on instead of a brake disc and a sprocket and some spacers on the freehub body. Easy as pie, you just have to look at pictures to know how it's done.

surly do one i think. worth checking them out

Don't on one do one?

Nice one, that's just what I'm looking for, was contemplating using a Paul component one with the disc brake side in conjunction with the bolt on cog, I wasn't really fancying the price lol now all I have to fork out got is the shiny black Paul full house cranks.... Bonus!!! Cheers Matt and thanks for the advice all!! I had a look at the dmr one and was unsure of the dual line up when swapped around too, though they are relatively priced on that website so may buy a couple of other things on there... Namely the nice green wide rims!!!

They do have them, check out Paulson components, they do a 135 mm rear hub with disc break free wheel and they also do a fixed one as well with disc break but no flip flop 135 mm hub yet, you'd have to order straight from America which is the shitter!!!

It sure does both on flipflop right? If so that's great value, I won't be doing extreme downhill riding fixed any way... I'll leave that to the sloshers!!!

anyone tried these? i'm thinking of building a fixed mountain bike wheel with a bolt on cog, they seem like a good hub to build around

I saw these hubs as well, not sure whether they are very good or not though....
