Flo does already have disc brake wheels. It'll be interesting to see what they're announcing. Love my Flo 60s.

Looks like their Gravel Road wheels ... they have been teasing those for a while now.

It will be really interesting to see if they use a different rim profile for the track wheels. That would be a pretty serious commitment to design a specific low-yaw wheel.

Love my 60's, too. Rims on PT hubs. I didn't see the disc brake wheel on their site. Haven't seen them in the e-mails, either. What did I miss?

I guess you could always buy their rims and build them up with disc brake hubs.

Although, I'd like to see a rim shaped without a brake track to use instead.

Does "dropping" mean eliminating?

There are no pictures of disc brakes on the web site which makes it confusing. But, if you go to their "Shop" like, select Carbon Clinchers (it may be under the aluminium rims also but I didn't check), select the wheel size, click Buy Now. You'll have a list if options available. Not these most obvious but it's there.

Thanks. I followed your instructions. Saw the option. On the clincher front wheels, I tried the 45s, 60s, and 90s. Clicked the <Brake> option. Only "Rim" showed. Seems like Flo is preparing for disc brakes or they're out of stock.

That said, I pinged Chris a while ago (maybe 2 orders?) and he said they were coming, but I've not seen anything from Flo about them, yet. Haven't seen body post anything about their experience with Flo discs, either.

With the Hed Jet 6+ Black available for $900, I ordered them last week.

Totally agree. Not sure there's many who prefer silver spokes with black hubs and rims but I could be wrong.

That is what we are fixing. We did a photoshoot over the weekend and have spent the last few days editing images in photoshop and building new web pages for our disc brake wheels and our track wheels.

It will be much more obvious shortly. This stuff just takes an enormous amount of time, especially when running the rest of a company ;)

Take care,

Will you be offering a disc-brake rim purchase option at any time?

We have no plans of offering disc-brake rims on the site. Rims account for a small percentage of our sales. We are currently selling off what we have with no plans of replacing them.

I hope that makes sense.

Definitely not the next few years. We are pushing for the first half of 2019.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
