Waynio Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 thats the daddy ^^ ^^ ^^the OLD "torsion" style disk arms were £30.00 and not very good. i proper made machined piece of alloy like that above would be worth £25/30 all day long to convert all these bikes that dont have rear disc that WANT rear disc, what people have to remember is the cost of the setting up and stuff.Boothy has your dad had a quote on how much one of them disc mounts would be????They dont put pressure on your frame either, it all seems to go on the wheel.Waynio.......................

fruitbat Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 This oneForgive me if im missing something obvious on that adapter but surely that wouldnt work properlyIm guessing that sits on the axle between the hub and the frame/on the oustide of the frame, but with all the preasure when braking that will just spin with the wheel wont it, there is nothing for it to fit onto a fixed point, such as the frame.Someone please put me out of my miseryFrooty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 ^^ Exactly what he said. Where are the pics of this adaptor mounted on the bike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*BOOTHY* Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 It has a bolt connecting it to the frame. I will get some pics of it on the bike today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruitbat Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 (edited) So is it fitted on the frame through the axle AND another bolt? If so that goes against what Wayne said as it will be putting preassure on the frame, and to be honest it wont be as realiable as all the braking power will be focused on that one bolt, hence increasing the risk of something going wrong/snappageFrooty Edited February 17, 2007 by fruitbat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*BOOTHY* Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 yes it does go through a bolt fixed onto the frame and the axle bolt. but the pressure isnt focused on one bolt, it works perfectly fine. I will get pics up in a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruitbat Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Fair enough, i wont disagree with what i haven't seen working.Pics would be interesting but i think i can now imagine the fittings of it.There was one i used to have where it fit like that one you posted a pic of but also had a tension bar or something that fits between the standard brake mount and the disc adapter itself, not sure how they perform with trials bikes as i only used it on xcFrooty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robster Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 I had a go on this bike yesterday. I tip the scales at 14 and a bit stone...ahem ! It holds very well indeed and has a good feel to it, it looks propper as well, may well have to see about sticking one on Robs bike some day.

sexymike Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Im a little bit hazeyJust how much of the axle sits inside the frame, i will assume none as the aluminium looks about 8mm wide.This seems like its spaced the wheel over to the right and left no axle to sit into the frame, ok with a king or a pro 2 i guess, cant forsee there being either on this bike.
