When to expect the disc KH cranks

Fatlazypig · 2012-05-29, 12:57 PM

So I am an unashamed gear head. I love having and buying new bits of kit. So I have been very excited about the idea of a disc brake on my schlumpf.

Now I have striped the threads on the TPA on my magura

It works but not perfectly

Now I have to decide
Fix up my rim brake
Or make do until the next gen KH cranks with discs come out. I thought I read June? But could be mistaken

Anyone know any date? Tentative date?

I know that UDC US is supposed to get them in their June container, but I'm not sure about the rest of the world.

Soon

I'd wait for the cranks, but if you are looking to buy something now, then order a D brake and find yourself a disc brake

Ben, my understanding/expectation is also that the new KH disc brake cranks will be used in conjunction with the D'brake - but do we actually know this?

Yup

Josh said so, therefore it must be true

But that does appear to answer the question about KH cranks and d'brake.

Anyone have any pricing info on the new cranks?

Schlump plus D Brake, seems to work fine.
