I'm after a single speed, disc rear hub. Suggestions?

If you're really struggling to find one, I think any cassette rear hub can be converted with the DMR kit available from CRC etc.

Thanks but no thanks if you get my meaning. Should have been more specific. trying to keep post short.
Want a disc but normal SS hub ie screw thread. conversions are a compromise and use wide hubs with big dishes. Need a normal 120 mm spacing

That is a normal screw on, it is 135mm (mountain bike) spacing as well, you won't get a 120mm disc hub.

What frames it for? Wasn't aware there were any frames (disc/ss) that ween't 135.

And that "big dish" is such a compromise for all geared bikes...go figure.

Markenduro, when I said thanks etc your pic/post didn't show. I was replying to tom. If its a normal screw on it should be rebuildable to 120mm. I'll be back if I can't find a new one.

A bike built for a single speed hub ie 120mm drop outs. Only mountain bikes and those bikes built for their hubs use 135.

Sorry not clear. A cassette to SS conversion is a compromise.
And yes any dish is not ideal.

Why? Worked fine for me for a decade or so..as has dish.

Oh I see...it has to be "perfect"?

I take it you shower in Evian?

nooooo.
My bike is 120mm thats why.
Although I still prefer to use screw on's as I get fed up with free hubs getting manky and wobbly and the reason/advantage for cassettes ie wider bearings isn't an issue with narrow screw on hub.

shower! no us traditionalists wash in a pond.
