What are my options for Campy compatible disc hubs?

Ideally 135 spacing. Budget is flexible but not sky high.

32h is what I'm thinking. Might be talked into 28. I wouldn't mind rim suggestions either while we're at it... D2R2 / gravel road type riding definitely, probably some considerable time on the pavement too. I weigh ~165lbs. Brake track not necessary. 28-38mm tires or so.

Sounds like you are building what I wanted to build but I caved in & put DI2 on a Ti frame with disc. First time I had ever bought Shimano for the road. Lynskey Cooper CX Disc with Ultegra Di2. Good luck with your project.

a quick thought tell me that i think dt swiss has some hub options for you

I think you have to cobble it.

DT Swiss "240" 135mm hubs are Shimano freehub stock, but a Campy freehub fits on, I think. You'd have to investigate, as I think there's more to it than a simple swap.

Seems with all the cross and road frames coming out with disc brake options these last few years, these have to be getting more common.

People are going to want to run Campy on their C59 disc!

I asked a similar question on here recently.

And yep the DT 240 with a freehub swap worked great. Thanks folks!

new White Industry 11 speed campy hub (but its 130mm rear spacing) and apparently only 11 compatible

I'm really scratching my head on their choice of 130. I thought consensus decided that question years ago in favor of 135.

Is clear that road bike will move to 135 for the end of next year, thanks shimano for introducing 132 mm hubs... now campagnolo have even more room to ad at least 12 or 13 cogs if the things go to 135.

yep, me too. I just built a kick around drop bar mountain bike that will see mostly gravel and urban road use. I really wanted to keep Campy with discs but its 135 mm spaced, and the pita factor of it all just became too great and I went to SRAM.

My drop-bar 29er has Campy Centaur ergos, but I use a j-tek shiftmate with XT rear der Stan's shimano compatible wheels, and BB7 calipers. When I looked into it year and half ago there were very few options for a fully Campagnolo compatible disc drivetrain, so I gave up and just stuck with the ergos (the most important aspect to me).

I agree that the Ergos are the most important part. I'm currently running Chorus 10 ergos on an otherwise Shimano drivetrain with an 8s cassette. It works well, and is certainly an option, but I was hoping to go full Campy on this build. I might just try to find one of those conversion cassettes splined Shimano but spaced campy.

Thanks for the comments everyone, I appreciate it.

Oh, they will, T, no doubt.

Pretty sure this was to meet a specific need for folks that already have (now older) 130 spaced frames- (older Poprads and such). I suspect we'll see a 135 option moving forward (I'd buy one yesterday if they made it).

Obviously I'm not keeping up....but is this true? I thought UCI rules currently outlaw discs for roadbikes?
