Hey Guys,

Just wondering if anyone new of any manufacturers that make a front 24 hole disc hub? The only ones I've found are the Formula CL91 and DC94 at the very respectable weights of 124 and 158 grams.

Cya, John.

but doesn't xtr not have a IS 6-bolt rotor mounting system? they have their own shimano version. This means a lot of disks won't work with that hub.

dt swiss make an adapter aswell, the xtr is probably a pretty decent option. i didn't know it came in 24 holes.

in regards to king or tune, tune is unavailabe in australia and king is probably a little overpriced but will be considered.

I know of a taiwan based company called A2Z that makes a nice 24 holes front disc hub. I dont have a confirmed weight, but it should be appx 130g. My girl friend rides a pair of A2Z wheels, 24 spokes front and rear, so its possible. And they are fair priced as weel.

Good luck to you
