Who better to make single speed disk hubs than the inventor of the single speed mountain bike hub. We've taken the existing WORD and Fhub designs and added a universal standard disk mount platforms (for the Hayes and Shimano systems which are the same).

Strengths:
Lights, Spoke Flanges very well machined, sweet
Weaknesses:
Disk compatability. Using Hope XC4 Disks and Pace RC31 Forks. Bolts catch, easy fixed, will use countersunk in disk. Caliper catches spokes! Gap between Disk flange and spoke flange is almost half of that on the Hopes. Think that this has been done to give a bigger dish for more strength, but is not big enough.

Bottom Line:
Fantasticly made but with some oversight it seems. I am a big fan of Pauls products, but been less satisfied with this.

Strengths:
Smooth Bearings Light easy to adjust
Weaknesses:
Had to jerry rig the sucker to work with my sid, Made a homemade washer that fits on the disc side to prevent the rotor bolts from rubbing agianst the fork. I filed down ahead set washer to about 0.75*10-3m(3/4mm)and then bent & inserted it between the adjustable disc side axle thingy(real techincal I know!) If you have any question on how i got this thing to work email me at mattberg@uwalumni.com

Bike Setup:
Xt disc with Sid Carbon Race...32hole..sun DS1 XC rims...and other light stuff that has no bearing on the review of this product. If I told you what was on my bike........ you would feel way inferior to the greatness that is my bike. I'm sorry I have just run out of glossys and have to go now.
Bottom Line:
Buy it with caution.....Call Paul up and see about compatibility issues with differnet forks/ disc set ups. I was able to navigate arround this one, due to its design....intended or not. Email me if you have any questions. Latter
