I putting togher a new set of disk wheels, and really like Chris King hubs (since my current hubs are the Chris King Classic hubs, btw they're awesome), and I would like to run Marta SL disk brakes, so the million bucks question is: ISO disk hubs are the one right??? What about Avid? What kind of hubs they requires?
Thanks in advance.

/tdIso's for the Avid's I believe the Marta's are ISO's as well

I'm certain that the Magura calipers take an ISO disc mount and the rotors are standard 6-bolt. They will most likely need an adapter (probably included) to mount to a manitou fork since manitou uses a post mount.

He's asking about the hubs. not the caliper mounts. I just remember seeing some funky four bolt patterns a while back. I remember Coda was infamous for those and I think Magura produced some fours as well.

The Chris King ISO's refers to the rotor bolt pattern and it IS 6-bolt. You just have to make sure the Magura's rotors are 6-bolt. Remember Magura made some rotors for Cannondale using their 4-bolt pattern.

Right... and they're 6-bolt. The magura Marta rotor is actually the identical rotor to the avid-branded one I'm using on my bike right now. They'll work.

Thanks guys, this is my 1st attempt to build up a disk brake bike so I'm pretty out of the current tech.

While we are on it, does anybody recall what fluid Coda Experts used?

NASA developed sewing machine oil.
