WTB: Disk brake/frame adaptor

[Rascal]

Don't quite know what they're called, but it is the contraption that allows you to use a disk brake with frames that don't have the mounting tabs.

I think that AMP used to make them and I see that Adrenaline has one listed, but it's like a $170!!! I can't quite understand why a hunk of aluminum and a steel bar costs so much.

Anyway, if someone has one for sale, I have a friend in search of one.

Thanks!

As with most everything, it depends. I have a 2000 853 hardtail that I absolutely love, so much in fact that I had disc tabs welded on by a local builder. In this case, and because it was a steel frame, it was well worth the hassle.

To the OP: Your best (only?) option is from a company called Brake Therapy.

Send commplex a PM. He made one for his aluminum Giant HT.
If your'e not worried about looking "cool", you can always run with a mullet.

I just talked to Adrenaline bikes, they are out of stock and the price is $49.95. Jeff was telling me that it works great. I am going to give it a try. I have a link and a picture here for you.

I have one of those I bought for my hardtail but it only works for Aluminum frames. If you have an Al frame, I'll sell it to you for what I paid, I think it was $30. The company is called A2Z. Brand new, still in bag.

[6packguywith5spot]

Do you have all hardware for it? Do you have paypal?

Let me know

Thanks

Yup, all the hardware is in the bag. Make sure you have an Al bike, it won't work with a steel frame. I thought I could get away with it since the package says Aluminum frames recommended but it just won't work with my steel frame. Let me look for it when I get home an I'll PM you the information.
