Dani. Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Don't think so, should have bought a disk hub. There are some dodgy fork adapters out there but I wouldn't trust one - certainly not for trials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would recomend Hope, they seem to be cheap and are a popular choice by modern day trials riders.JK Edited July 1, 2007 by J-KAY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Manning Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 This is going back a few years now, lol. But Shimano used to do a disc adapter that bolted to ur spoke eylets, giving you a disc mount and new spoke eylets to build your wheel onto. But too be fair, unless you can get something made, your gonna be better of buying a disc hub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Manning Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 they look like Grimeca disc brakes, so worth searching them. But doubt ul find anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavyn. Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 (edited) they only work on the rear as far as i'm aware and they only stop you going forwards not backwards cause they just unscrew which means there useless for trials.http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=1048 if you want to try it Edited July 1, 2007 by Gavyn L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egg Fried Rice Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 I dont think it will be very suitable for trials though, it will unscrew as the forces or a rear wheel in trials goes both ways.JK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugh_b Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 i seem to remember dmr doing one aswell, a couple of friend's used to run them on their bike and they just constantly came lose because of the back and forth forces! They tried threadlock and that didnt work, you could maybe do some spot welds on it? -Hugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Smith! Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 For that price you could sell your rear hub and put the money you was going to buy an adaptor with towards a new disk hub .Matx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
