Ali C Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 I have a discotech, going on 4 years old now, still to have a service, hardly ever slips, best hub ever! :lol: the hub should come with an adaptor to use 6 bolt disk rotors. I use an alloy drive shell and have had little problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Got my discotech off travistrials and its perfect, I believe it has been serviced by tarty at some point. Never skipped and very light, mines got the alu driveshell, you cant really run singlespeed on it (unless you have a kingcog like me :lol: ) cos the driveshell dies very quickly. i dont run a disk on the rear so cant comment, but overall its awesome.

N.Wood Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Yep, the alloy shell should be fine as long as you run either a King Kog or a full cassette with a carrier. The disk mount system looks nice and strong, similar spline system to the Shimano hubs/rotors. Gte Adam to service it if you buy it from Ebay or new from a shop, that way it'll be properly set up for trials :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne-king Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Yep, the alloy shell should be fine as long as you run either a King Kog or a full cassette with a carrier. ← depends if you only use one of the sprockets. if you do, the bolts start to bend, then snap and the driveshell will die in the same way as when you use a single speed kit. i have had my king for a year (previously owned by Andy P) and it's only had a few problems. the alu driveshell got mashed pretty easily, but i got a new steel one from tarty, and the standard axle snapped (but king warrantied it, and sent an HD axle with fun bolts and an HD lockring from America) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Yeh, sorry i meant if you're running a FULL cassette, you'll have no problems. But yeh i see what you mean :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
