Considering the conversion to rear disc for the OzM.  I have seen comments and posts but not a price for the various kinds that may be available.  Please point me in the right direction and can anyone tell me how much they cost?  Has anyone tried the A2Z disc conversion kit..I see it on Ebay periodically..costs about $25.  Lastly, those that did convert was it a dramatic change from the V-brake?  I am going to be running Disc up front and was wondering if rear disc conversion would be necessary/worth while?  Thanks  ...

You need to contact Mike "Hammer" on here and buy one of his "Hammerhead" disk adaptors.
I've got mine and intend to do my Oz's.

How much are they going for now?  And what all is involved.  Don't you have to drill and tap holes?
What is everyone putting on for brakes?

Thanks,

Here's a picture of my son's Schwinn with the A2Z adapter. It requires the dropout area to be flat on both inside and outside areas. It looks like it would require some grinding along the front edge of the outside plate in order to fit K2 drop outs. I looked at my wifes K2 1000 aluminum swing arm and the adapter plate would have to be reshaped to fit. More pictures in my gallery
