I fancy one of their Single Discs with anti dive but i want to use it with standard split rims to start with and then get some of the SIP tubeless rims when they come out. So which disc do I go for? Because they do 2 discs, one for normal rims and one for tubeless.
Any body know what the difference is between the 2 discs and why you can't change rims?

If I were you I'd wait for the SIP rims as there's no guarantee they will fit either or any of the Innovations hubs and then you're alternative will be the ScootRS 
very badly designed antidive, or the LTH hub.
I changed my Innovations hub centre from split to tubeless, I can't quite remember the differences but think it has something to do with being a smaller diameter with lugs to accomodate the tubeless rims, but they're not universal. I'm also not keen on the split rim hub as the valve has to be spaced away from the rim on the inside to avoid contact with the calliper as the wheel spins. This is done with rubber spacers slipped over the valve before fitting. I feel this puts unnecessary strain on the tube. The tube also has to be fitted the opposite way round so the valve points from left to right toward the centre of the hub, again to miss the calliper. This means using a standard tube and "pulling" the valve off centre, together with the spacing under the valve, or a Vespa "correctomundo" tube withe the valve offset to the opposite way to the Lambretta version.
I like the look of the SIP rim too, and I want to cleanse myself of ScootRS made products, and hope it will fit the Innovations hub, however; if it doesn't then I'll have to look elsewhere, fingers crossed
Hope this helps

Hi Soulsurfer, thanks for the help. I had a disc on order from ScootRS but cancelled it when Randall started to be a real dick.
Now I'm trying to decide whether to go for a LTH or an Innovations disc.
LTH have a new brake coming out in the next couple of weeks, it will be the same as the old one but use a SX 200 type main hub (i.e the side with the windows in) so I might go for one of those.
Cheers Nick
