CAN THIS BE USED WITH a disc brake?

No there are 3 models and the R stands for the Roller Brake Model.I think Shimano used to make a Nexus, maybe 5 or more years ago that had a part that could be changed to allow roller or disk / pedal or disk but I couldn't find them when they were available and now I see no mention of them.I used the roller brake and changed from a disk brake (on a 3 speed Nexus) because I ride on the rode, have a Nexus 7 with a roller on another bike and was happy enough with it. The price to get a disk seemed prohibitive since I use the front disk way more.It is a bit weaker than a disk and requires even more pull than pads but I wanted a reduced maintenance part. I have to adjust the front disk every couple weeks.

NO, not at all. There's a weird part from cesur.de that claims to allow it, but it is the wrong size and will cause your rotor to be misaligned. I know this because I tried it. For a disk, you want the Alfine version of this hub, and if you need an ISO mount (6-bolt) instead of Shimano mount, then you need to get an adapter (I think it is a "problemsolver" from QBP)

No, you will need to use a Shimano Alfine hub instead of a Nexus hub to use disc brakes.
351263
No, you need a different model, one that takes the Shimano center lock disc brake. It's available on Amazon. The hub shown can only use either a rim brake or a roller (drum) brake.

No...it doesn't have the proper mount. The Disk brake requires a spline on the non-drive side for the brake to fit on, and this hub doesn't have it. It should work fine with a roller brake.

Yes, you will be able using Alfine 11 with the brakes on the rims. However, if you use the setting for the disc brakes you'll be better served in terms of safety and performance. I am suggesting you to use it with disc brake because my setup is like that and I'm very pleased with it.

Depends on your bike and where the calipers are mounted. Look at your frame and see if you the mounting holes are accessible with one of the arms in the picture of this bike rack. If your calipers are in the way, then you'll have to buy a rack specific to disc brake systems. This Explorer bike rack actually has a disc brake specific model. Just search for it on the search bar.

In order for you to convert <easily> to disc brakes you need to have wheel, frame and fork compatibility. From the left side of your bike look at the outside edge of your wheel hub, the lower front fork and the the rear seat stay above the axle. You should see, if compatible, six small threaded holes in the wheel hub <for disc mounting>, two threaded standoffs on the fork and rear seat stay <for calipers>. The absence of either will preclude compatibility and be an indication of what is required. Your existing brake levers, if mechanical wire pull, should be compatible.

I see no reason why not. Anything with a brake and accelerator pedal should work.

No not at all. You can not put it on brakes it's only for spark plug and coil or spark plug wires

I have used them with disc brakes without a problem and would imagine they would work with all types because it is simply a wire that is being pulled. Same in all cases.

Hello, i would think so as it's the wheel it's going on, you'll have to modify something.. I've seen disk brakes on regular bike frames Nashbar is a big supplier and would be able to answer your questions directly. The brakes are great for the price I have them on a specialized big hit comp replacing some very expensive Hayes hydraulics that are not worth the maintenance, the levers are sub par but will work.Hope this helpsTw

Hey yes this fork will accept disc brakes or rim brakes. Let us know if you have any other questions! - Worldwide Cyclery

No these are for rim brakes only. A disk brake wheel is built with a specialized hub to which the braking disk is attached.

Per SRAM these will work with both linear pull (v-brake) rim brakes and mechanical disc brakes. Non-direct pull caliper brakes take a different lever.

I'm going to say no (even though I've never tried it on a Giant) but they really don't work well with disc brakes.

Not that I am aware of. With a little practice you can set the brake using your foot.

It attaches to the rear axle on the left side, under the nut. I understand it should work with a Quick Release. I doubt a disc brake should interfere.

I have a strommer electric bike and it has disc brakes and quick release, it is no problem on the install. Great rack, very rigid

I have disc brakes but I believe it should work for both. All the rack does is it is extra wide for the disc breaks but has a boss that comes in at the mounting point which should work for either.

Sorry but no they wont. They are competly different systems. The discs mount to the hub on the wheels which need to be designed for disc brakes. Your bikes frame must also be equipt with disc brake attatchments at the end of your forks and same for the back most bikes have this at the front end. All depends on the bike.
