option is to put a Pantour hub on the front that would have a disc brake

Does anyone out there have dual Pantours on their bent, and any thoughts

I don't have one but it seems everyone else who does says the front works
fine but they had problems with one on the back

We've been using the front for years now and it works fine. One thing to note
though is that the hub has a floating end cap so dirt and mositure tend to crud
bet the end cap and bearing. SO thing to do is keep the hub clean. I usually
wash it, spray with wd40, wipe and dry under the sun and then rewipe again.
JUst a bit more maintenance for the comfort.

Just like buying a car with alloy wheels- have to celan it more.

I have equipped my last 3 Vision SWB's with Pantours on front and find
them remarkably good. My current Vision SWB is my first experience
with the rear Pantour and , while I've not had any problems, IMHO the
benefits are not worth the added expense and added weight. My rear
has the 1/2 in of travel. I assume the 1 in travel would increase the
benefit while adding to any potential problems.
