Having trouble finding the formula hubs you used in the Warrior plans. Can you tell me where you purchased them and the brake sets. If you have the part #'s that would help in my search and prevent me from buying the wrong ones. Thanks.

Here is one source:

A lot of people are also ordering the hubs direct from Bitex for around $50 a pair delivered to their door:

Pretty much any 6 bolt disc brake should fit, such as this set from Nashbar:

You can get the Bitex trike hubs in both 20 mm and 12 mm.

Does anybody make 20" Mag wheels, with disc brake setup?

Does anybody make 20" Mag wheels, with disc brake setup?Kind of a jury-rigged setup, especially for such a pricey machine,
but here's how they managed it on my Rhoades Car:

Looks like something I cobbled together myself. Pitiful, but it works. :rolleyes:

A 6 hole bicycle disc doesn't fit... but this disk is for motor-scooters and the holes are closer together so it should fit. I have both the front and rear wheels and I think I can replace the rear axle with a front axle to make a matched pair. They are plastic so I don't think they will hold my weight, but good enough for my grandsons, before they get to big
