Re: twin disc's up-front............
Its been done before a few times and really there is no point. Unless the point is just to do it for the sake of doing it.
Twin cable discs don't have the power of a single hydro. Its ends up riding worse too with the extra unsprung mass and the narrower spoke flanges creating a wheel which is less stiff.

Re: twin disc's up-front............
i'm only building it as i am able to , and i think it'll work well and look cool
the hub i have won't be shortened so it won't be any worse than any other wheel. where did you hear the above anyway ? have you done the twin disc set up your self ?

well the hub i've bought won't work , phoned goldtec and they quoted me 400-500 quid to do one and i've e-mailed First Principles about their FP Rotor Mounts so just waiting for a reply.....
i've also got 2 cheapo hubs the same and have them marked out ready to chop up and re-weld
lots of work done by phone/e-mail/phone and i'm not really that much further and to top it off the forks won't be posted out until friday :evil:
ggot an e-mail saying the seller was skint and cant afford to post them until the end of the week , my reply was if you send them next day delivery then thats fine........
think i'll go cut up some hubs
