SCOOTRS Disc Brake

[Covboy]

Is anybody using the Scootsrs disc brake hub assembly? I have just got one - the quality of manufacture, material and finish looks good......

but ......

I have just tried to fit a standard hub nut onto the thread of the new disc hub and it doesn't want to go more on than one turn... I don't want to force it as I will strip the thread. I have also tried a new hub nut - same result : - Both new & old hub nuts are not fitting correctly on the new disc hub thread. Both of the sample nuts fit easily and properly on the existing original drum hub. I emailed Scootsrs who advise the thread is 12mm x 1.5mm pitch....any ideas...? anyone had the same issue?

Hi, there are 2 thread types, 1for the axle and another for the anchor stud. Hope this helps.

Hello ----

It's the axle thread

Had a similar problem years ago when I fitted an outboard disc assembly , simplest thing is to replace the supplied threaded axle with a new one from scooter restorations or somewhere similar that sells decent stuff !!

Insane ??????

I have been looking at these. You would expect it to be "plug and play"

I'm going to borrow a 12mm/1.5mm die and run it over the thread to see if that helps...

Hi Covboy, the axle is as you show. I wouldn't advise rethreading, you will be able to get the correct nuts. I mentioned the anchor bolt but looking at your hub it look likes it made to fit non disc links.

Hi.I use a ScootRS inboard disc,as does my brother and we both fitted the standard axle nuts without a problem.Yours may be a badly threaded axle.Can you take out the original axle and compare the thread with the new axle,it may be that the first couple of threads are damaged.

Strange thing is I actually bought 2 and they are both the same.wont take old or new nuts( nuts from SR.).. I have contacted Scootrs and they will look into it tomorrow...I suspect a worn die. I'll update this thread with the outcome.
