Just received this email from Chris King confirming the release of a cyclocross specific set of their R45 hubs
"Next year, we will be releasing our R45 hub with disc mounts but at this stage in the design process they are only 32 and 28 hole. That doesn't mean that we're not planning to do a 24 hole, but there are no designs as of right now."
As you can tell I asked them about the possibility of a 24 hole set, I would be interested to hear if people think that is enough spokes for a disc wheels set especially if you are lacing to a carbon rim. It would be great if they did as you could combine the hubs with most of the rims from top manufacturers as most of their rear wheels use 24 holes. I know some Cannondale disc specific cross bikes come with 24 spokes so can’t see a problem although it may be too few for a carbon rim?
If you guys want to see a 24 hole version then drop them an email as if enough of us do it they will surely provide this spec.

Well, I'm sure you could get away with a 24 hole. It really is dependent on you as a rider and rim selection.
