Does such a thing exist. Looking for one. I tried using the Google machine to no avail.

TIA

assuming you mean a *powertap* G3 disc hub, any disc hub will be 135mm spacing so Road = MTB and thus the answer is yes.

I did see that. I already have an SRM, so don't want to pay the premium for the PT hub.

ah, why the need for G3?

if you have an SRM then any disc freehub would do fine, then.

Looking at doing a road-disc and thinking about re-lacing some Bora wheels with disc hubs.

G3 lacing? nope, no G3/disc wheels.

A rear 28 spoke hub could work. Problem is that the Bora wheel is a triplet pattern with only half the spokes on the disc side of the hub. I wouldn't build that pattern to a disc brake wheel where braking torque is an issue.

With the front rim being only 16 spokes you will have strength issues there too. That wheelset was never intended to be set up for disc brakes. Don't ruin a really nice set of wheels. Find something else.

Eric, Thanks for stopping me from going down that rabbithole.
