flat29 Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Good day hubbers. I have a steel mtb frame and would like to know if I can mod it to a disc brake frame. This is for the rear brake. What would I need and can this be done? Any info will help
shaper Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 I have done this on my 1999 Trek that I converted to a SS which did not have the disc brake mounts using this adaptor http://www.wiggle.co...sal-disc-mount/ It clamps around the frame and works very well. Attached the pics before With adaptor[
Sepia Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) I also did this with an adaptor. Very difficult to find these days and also frame dependant. This is the adaptor I used. Works fine. Edited July 31, 2013 by Sepia
droo Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Yes. You can either get a frame builder to braze the mounts on, or run an adapter like this one http://www.cheapbikeparts360.com/images/b/12575.jpg

V12man Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 There is another route you could follow too - cut off the dropouts and weld in a paragon slider - this comes with the brake mount attached to the slider. I am planning to do this on an old frame I use in SS mode - thus the slider for chain tensioning. flat29 1
shaper Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 did you bring it in from the states Bought it online from Wiggle UK and had it posted here, no hassle at all, my frame did not have any bolt holes to use the adaptor that sepia used, so had to go for the clamp on adaptor. Also is an aluminium frame, so did not want to go the welding route
shaper Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 where did you find itCan also get on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rear-Disc-Brake-Adapter-for-Gary-Fisher-Trek-Klein-Frames-Universal-Mount-Disk-/350739744602?pt=Cycling_Parts_Accessories&hash=item51a9b7c75a
