Hello all: I am looking for a low priced source for a couple disk brake ready front hubs, sealed
bearings 32 or 16 spoke. Do you know of any good leads? Thanks, Bri.

Well the lower the better, I just ordered 2 rears at $12 each but there were no fronts.

How about $28 ea for 20mm thru axle hubs? Great for tadpole trikes

I prefer these for trike use.

These are Earth Cycles specific, but Phil Wood could probably be persuaded to make some more. They
are not low cost by any stretch of the imagination, but I suspect they will outlast everything else
on the trike.

They do look good however I'm just putting disk brakes on my bikeE RX so I think almost anything
with sealed bearings will work out fine. Thanks, Brian

Do these come with the axle, q/r, bearings.? So far the juju ones look like an OK hub for the money
I guess but who knows what bearings they run in them.

I doubt they include the axle, but Chuck is fairly responsive to e-mail. I have a Juju rear hub that
is excellent. There is an O ring that I suggest you remove, as it seems to serve to cause friction?
The bearings are sealed units,so the O ring is overkill.

An ex-BikeE person is closing out parts on ebay. It appears there are some front hubs from the E2
there for cheap.

He didn't list any fronts with disk mount but I did order some rears and a bunch of other stuff.
Thanks, Bri

Oh well, 16 and 32 is what I have. I'm almost done with the rear wheel disk brake conversion, all I
need now is a longer brake cabel and then but it all on the bike. The Avid brakes get a lot of
praise from most folks that I talk to so I think I made a good decision on those.
