    Question:

    Zenki Drum brake axles and Zenki Disc brake axles the same?

    Reason:

    Will the Rotar disc fit over the end where the drum is ?

    cheers,

    cando1

    The axles are different, but the disk should fit on either.

    well one runs a totally different wheel bearing to the other for a start.

    i was under the impression that the larger type wheel bearing was reserved for the Kouki type axle....as you can use the Aus T-series axles with the Zenki disc setup...

    Not the ones Ive pulled apart. disc brake = double bearing. drum brake = single.

    thanks for clearing that up...

    just to clarify though, you can also run ADM t-series axles with zenki disc setup

    You would need a custom bracket or something to make that work.
