Non QR versions of Chris King ISO front hubs?

[Duncan Smith]

I'm looking for a disc brake solution for my racer/cyclocross bike,
and as such am in the marker for a 100mm ISO front hub which is built
to last.

Chris King is in the front, but they all seem to be QR - I'm a bit of
fan of Tracknuts if only because they rarely work loose on their own,
and deter casual/kiddie thieves when leaving the bike parked down
town.

Anyone seen any CK hubs with fittings for track-nuts, or can recommend
a suitable product?

Regards,

Duncan.

Chris King BMX hubs:

I'd bet if you ask them nice, they'd make up a set just the way you
want them. I'd wander over and ask them, but then my job is only a
mile or two from their facility.

Again, not disc-compatible.

I think the idea was to get CK to make a hybrid with the BMX axle and
the ISO disc shell; since they have the same axle diameter and OLN
dimension, this should be possible.

Oops. I see now.

Also keep in mind that newer oversize BMX axles are 14mm, too large to fit
in most 9/10mm dropouts. Not sure if this is the case with King.
