Hi Guys,

In the market for a disc wheel, but needs to have disc brakes.

Looked into it and all I really found were the HED's Disc2 for now or zipp's super 9 in the near future. Are there any other options in the market I'm not aware of?

Also pretty sure a jacket is not an option from wheelbuilder, from what I read, right?

thanks

Flo is bringing such a wheel to the market later this year.

Billy is right, Flo is bringing one to market. I have another suggestion that is lighter and just as fast - make one. All you need is monokote and some heat. Since you are putting it on a wheel that is already structurally sound, you don't need it be structural, just aero. And it gives you the freedom to use any light wheel in making it. That is what I am doing with some of these wheels:

A centrelock hub should present no problems for a disc cover.
