hi! i bought recently a pair of on-one reetard wheels with planet x superlight hubs and i need some help with identifying what kind of disc rotors they require. i can't find anywhere disc rotors looking like these and i was wondering maybe somebody have got an extra spare one.. or can give me an information where i can find them.. the mount on a hub has like 10 cogs on it (?) (please see picture).
thanks in advance.

The only "superlight" listed hubs on Planet X are these:

Assuming these are what you have, you won't be able to fit a rotor.

you've got a flip-flop hub by the sound of it then. Single speed on one side, fixie on the other - no disc for you

the thing is that i've got the same mount in the front wheel. btw the wheels comes of 29er on-one scandal and the rims are disc-only.

if the previous owner was riding a fixie then there wouldn't be a need for braking surface or disc mounts.
Regardless, what you've shown in the photo is not a disc mount

Looks like one of them things you can stick on a disk mount to with a lock ring .....used to sell some crappy cheapo wheels that came with a similar set up ! Ill have a look for what i mean think they were a2z hubs so jut rebranded tat - like some on on ones stuff

i added a second image of disc rotors that should fit these hubs (anyway they've got 10 cogs).
Thanks everyone for all your advice:)Posted 3 months ago # -

trail_rat: I'd be grateful if you'd find something. And you definitely right about it. Thanks.
rOcKeTdOg: you 100% right (now i can see how it works). Thanks.Posted 3 months ago # -
they tend to stick in the rotor when you take them off, make sure it isn't stuck in there

i got them without rotors off ebay and now i've got a problem... heh.

got there eventually.The hub is made by a chinese company who make hubs that can either have a centre lock fitting or a 6 bolt fitting.
You need the adapter and the lock ring as a normal cassette lock ring won't work.
The adpaters often get stuck inside the rotors as the fit is tighter. Centre lock fittings have pointy teeth compared to the square teeth of the hub-adapter fitting. People often complain about play in the CL disk regardless of how tight they are and it is just play in this interface which needs a bit of packing to take out the slop - or just glue them.

Awesome, thanks a lot!

on your 2nd picture I can see the adapters stuck inside the discs. You need those to fit other CL discs and the lock rings which are unique to these hubs.
