Yes, exactly, if not for centerlock disc I probably wouldn't bother even thinking of it. I've had to deal with drilling out stuck and stripped torx bolts on an old 26" 6 bolt front disc hub. Ironically, this wheel was from an old 'comfort MTB' (marketed as a hybrid back when my wife first bought it) with both IS disc tab and v-brake posts on the fork and seemed like the same wheel was spec'd on each level of the same model and could be used as disc or rim brake. I've since used the same wheel as a spare for rim brakes without issue but with the marred 6 bolt rotor mounts still there as a reminder and eyesore.
After viewing numerous center lock hubs recently I'd have no issue with seeing the unused center lock mount on a rim brake bike even if sticking to rim brakes indefinitely. That still leaves a concern regarding the QR adapters with 12x100 TA hubs and whether there are any compatibility issues among them. The available hubs I've been drawn to most are the SON and Shimano offerings. I also just found a new Shimano release I still need to research a bit more: https://bike.shimano.com/en-EU/product/component/deorext-t8000/DH-UR705-3D.html On Tuesday, April 30, 2019 at 8:22:25 PM UTC-4, ascpgh wrote: > I began my generator hub experience by considering moving my wheel to > other bikes, rationalizing my SON expense across several bikes. > > I used the centerlock disc format to serve my disc braked commuter but > allow me to spin off the ring, pull the disc and run it on my other bike.
