that brand was not in the op's post to discuss, it was about the lower priced brands (not lower quality). I would ride hed, zipp, etc. I have had them all and after using high end wheels over $3000 a set of realised the set for $800- 1200 is fine ever for top performance.

On the premierbike website it says 26.22mm wide at the rim brake track, and the owner confirmed this for me, but mine measured 25mm exactly. I’ve only realized this after mounting my 25mm corsa speeds and noticing they were bulging out a little wider than the rim. A small thing, but kind of annoying.

I’ll measure our newest production when I get back into town.

Hi Dan,

Possibly a dumb question but are there differences in geometry between the discs for rim brake use and disc brake use? Or is it simply a matter of assembling with a different hub?

The reason I ask is I've been away from tri while disc brakes have taken over, and I'm looking to upgrade my rim brake tri bike and would love to know if there's a disc out there where I could "convert" over to disc brakes if I took that plunge in future...

Thanks

Doesn't totally answer your question but I asked Dan about the differences recently and this is what he said: The disc disc does not have a rim brake track. The disc disc is structurally a bit different to take the loads at the center. The hub quality is the same. Same quality carbon. Same width and valve hole cover.

Thanks for the reply - this is functionally what I was interested in.

I know that for spoked wheels you can often lace in a new hub and render the brake track moot (but not always - e.g. radially spoked w carbon fairings, where the hole locations need to move). I just wondered if there may be a solid disc out there that would mean I didn't sink a ton of money into a knowingly dated rig. Know of any others?

Sorry no - they are totally different and can’t be Interchanged.

I'll be the next to ask a dumb question: why would I want a solid core disc over a cover (like HED, not aero coach)? Besides the whoomp whoomp, what am I really sacrificing?

Maybe a little weight, that's about it though.
