Disc Brake Compatible 120 OLD fixed hub
Anybody know of a 120mm rear fixed hub that'll take a disc brake? Either Six bolt or centerlock. The only ones I can find are 135mm spacing.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Since there is a place called China, all our wildest dreams can now come true.
Here's an example of a cheapish custom builder in English language: https://www.habcycles.com/custom.html
There are some similar French builders that just send the specs to China and you can have anything built.
Still, the 120mm disc market can't be too terribly far away. Cinelli Mash CX is 120mm, maybe Cinelli partners with White Industries and they make the world's dumbest hub? Here's to dreaming!!!

Still kicking.
No it won't, clearance issues at 120mm. If anything they'll tweek the frames next model year to fit 130 or 135mm spacing.

However, I do like my idea more since it is more in line with the ridiculousness of pointless new product releases within the bicycle industry, and I can see a horribly dished wheel and a malformed NDS chain stay being the new standard instead of the industry respecting your concise and accurate logic.

I want this thread to continue until a manufacturer creates the 120mm disc hub.
Kickstart my heart.
