Hello gents, long time listener, first time caller. Anyways, intending to do some modifications and upgrades to my 78 px, and I was perusing wheel setups when I came across the plc corse rim setup for the et fork conversion, but it seems some people are running them in disk converted forks as I see them on with clearly stock forks (right hand suspension vs left) so my question is this, how do you achieve the setup in the attached image?

The combination in my head goes like this :

Px fork
Grimeca or similar Disk brake mount
Sip 12 inch conversion hub
Pl corse et fork conversion hub for 10 inch wheels
Pinsaco modular split tubeless rims


This mess should all assemble and align?

First of, the PLC wheel hub is designed for a ZIP / ET4 fork in mind.

I've made this conversion on my P, but I followed a different route since I wanted a specific blue hub to match the scooter (ZIP hub made by OTTOPUNTOUNO). This route required machining and excessive mods (link below)

Easiest way for it to work is the PLC hub. SIP's hub won't work...

I don't know if you can install the speedometer gear so you can use the stock speedo cable with the PLC hub, seems like it though...

You can find the hub and wheel adapter bit cheaper at KR-Automation since they produce them for PLC...

Ah i haven't seen the plc hub before. And I don't particularly care about the speedo since it sucks anyways.

So, to be clear, I can use the plc hub on the px fork, then use the plc web section to attach a 10 inch rim? And this combination does NOT have a offset for the et style fork since it's intended for px?

Wow awesome, you're the man. It's a pricey setup with diff parts from multiple manufacturers, so it's great to be able to ask people who have experience.

While I have you on the line, does this mean the same wheel setup could be used for a rear with a conversion hub as well?

Would be awesome to have the same wheel front and rear for obvious reasons but it wouldn't be a deal breaker.

The rear is a whole different story. They did make a hub / disc brake combo for a smallframe engine but haven't seen anything yet for a largeframe...

I wonder if the plc star and pinasco wheel combo would clear these hubs

I just realized that would defeat the purpose in the rear 🤪, could mount right to brake hub with pinasco wheel lmao. Anyways, Thanks for the assistance with the front setup, cheers.
