Where can I get a fixed wheel with disc. The only ones I have seen recently are Phil Wood super expensive hubs.
Recommendations please
Surly are bringing out a fixed disc hub in the spring.
echo trials hub, fixed disc for £30 off of ebay. Nice heavy duty bearings and good design
The echo ones I am looking at for 26" have a tensioner built in which I don;t want. Can you do me a link to the ones you are looking at please
Thought the idea of fixies were you didnt need brakes?
But no disc mounts..
rock -- That just takes me to a page saying This Item has Ended and search for echo hubs returns nothing. I will search more tomorrow
coffee - I want brakes when riding off road, fixed or otherwoise
Christ, you're going offroad with a fixie?! Mentalist.
Mentalist.
You've never met WCA, have you?
Or you could just use a standard screw on ss disc hub.
It's what I was advised to do will I wait for the surly one.
any flip flop hub with one of these http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/product-DT-Swiss-DT-Swiss--Arai-to-Disc-Brake-Adapter-for-145-mm-OLN-98--TD-12727.htm
I think dmr do one too.
I would imagine some good knee popping/jarring with a disc on a fixie...there would be too much to think about for my liking. Good luck!
Echo ones here:

It's ****ing hard work and very stupid off road though, I bought it for my kona sutra commuter bike but had to try it on my 29er, you really have to think about where the pedals are when going over logs and rocks, was very good in the snow though as I had loads of control over the speed without needing to brake.
What could possibly go wrong? 🙄
Stu your so niche 😀
I like the echo site:
[i] A front freewheel on the cranks must be used with this hub.[/i]
defeats the object surely! 🙂
