I posted this on rec.bicycles.off-road, but from the looks of the board, it only gets visited once
or twice a month. So please forgive me for posting it here too.
I have an old MTB frame, 12 years old to be exact, pre disc to be sure. Is it possible to mount disc
brakes on this frame? Using an adapter or some other mounting hardware? Which brands? I'd like to
use a mechanical type, if possible.
I don't ride a lot of dirt, certainly not enough to warrant the expense of a full fledged
dyed-in-the-wool-super-tricked-out MTB, I use it mostly for commuting, but I do get "dirty" every
now and then, and the clay here in the Carolina Piedmont makes regular rim brakes a =FE=B9=86=A2h!
If you don't want a long thread on this subject (like the recumbent/traditional one!) feel free to
E-mail your response :-3)
TIA
May you have the wind at your back. And a really low gear for the hills! Chris
