FAQs

Can I convert this hub to a quick-release setup?

No, the DMR Colt Front Disc Hub is specifically engineered for 15mm thru-axle standards and cannot be converted.

Does this hub include the thru-axle?

No, the hub is supplied as a standalone component; please use the thru-axle provided by your bike frame or fork manufacturer.

What is the spoke count for this hub?

This model features 36-hole drilling.

Is this hub suitable for downhill mountain biking?

While durable, the hub is optimized for dirt jumping and trail use. For extreme downhill racing, always check that the component meets your specific riding intensity requirements.

How do I maintain the bearings?

The hub uses sealed cartridge bearings which are generally maintenance-free. If rotation becomes rough over time, the cartridges can be replaced by a professional mechanic.

Is this compatible with Centerlock rotors?

No, this hub is designed exclusively for 6-bolt disc rotors.

Troubleshooting

The wheel feels stiff or gritty when rotating.

Check for debris caught near the seal and ensure the thru-axle is tightened to the correct specification, as over-tightening can sometimes cause excess pressure on the hub shell.

Rotor rubbing against brake pads.

Ensure the 6-bolt rotor is seated flush against the mounting surface and that all mounting bolts are tightened in a cross-pattern to the manufacturer's specified torque.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight at 140g
  • Durable CNC-machined construction
  • Smooth rotation with sealed bearings
  • Improved spoke tension due to angled flanges
  • Standard six-bolt disc compatibility

Cons

  • Limited to 15mm thru-axle standards
  • Not compatible with quick-release forks
  • Requires professional wheel building skills

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This hub is designed for 100mm x 15mm thru-axle configurations. Before beginning your wheel build, ensure your fork's dropouts are compatible with this axle standard.

  1. Wheel Building: Ensure you use spokes that match the 36-hole pattern of the hub shell. The angled flanges allow for easier threading and more direct spoke paths.
  2. Rotor Installation: Secure your 6-bolt disc rotor using the recommended torque settings provided by your brake manufacturer.
  3. Maintenance: While the hub features a low-drag main seal, it is recommended to periodically inspect the exterior for buildup. Avoid using high-pressure power washers directly against the bearing seals to prevent water ingress.
