i was wondering if anybody has run these wheels with disc brakes? i was thinking of picking up a set, but i want to make sure they will work with discs. i was told they will but not with dropped spindles and discs. any feed back? i just would like to hear from more than one person on this subject if possible. thanks for any info.

They work fine with disc brakes. Both K&L and BJ. The trouble only exists with BJ dropped spindles. They don't fit.
