is any body running a disc brake setup in ther fiddys? if so post some pics, i'm trying to build one cheaper than sano.

 

How are you going to build one? I was thinking about going to a bike shop and seeing what disc brakes they have. I heard stock forks are not strong enough and they will bend if you use disc brakes with them.

 

U can buy long fork arms and a hub for a disk brake that omes with every thing but rim and hub, i think, from sano.

 

yeah but sano wants 300$ i think i can build it for under 100$.

 

it's just a mountain bike disk setup. I know because my firend races mountain bikes and works at a shop. He's hella smart and i showed him them for my 50 and he opened his cataloug and showed me the same setup for his mountain bike. Hydraulic disk brakes for mountain bikes.

After talking to people about htem i don't want them on my bike but i could get them for like 100-200.

 

why is there a negative side to them????????????

 

i've got the fork legs and disc from sano and they are sweet. stop on a dime and get back change. it comes with the stronger, 1" longer legs, hydralic caliper, lever, hose, disc and hub adapter for $299 retail. i'm sure you could get them cheaper through a local shop, but i don't think that it's even a bad deal at 299.

how does the adapter hub work? how does it mount?

 

you take the drumbrake off and a billet aluminum piece fits snug in these 3 molded slots inside the hub. very simple idea and comes with sealed bearings

 

do you have a close up pic of that setup on a bike?
