Check out this Proflex 4000 rear disc adapter.

Anyone on the list own this one?  

Looks like it is held on by a bolt sandwich and maybe a quick release assist.  Anyone see something I don't?



For more go to the link below;there are lots of pictures.

That's just a generic A2Z disc brake adaptor. That's not to say it isn't any good, but it's nothing fancy either. I think part of its design relies on butting against the back edge of the dropout; if given the choice, I'd much rather have something that bolts to the dropout, or else have one welded on. Dunno if you can weld onto a dropout embedded in a carbon swingarm, though.

Maybe shovelon can advise whether he could weld a disc brake mount onto that swingarm. 

(crosses his fingers, because he currently owns three of the damn things)

Simon has done it, and says it held up fine. I would have tried it long ago but I am not a disk fan. I guess after fitup and tack, a series of short weld and cool could do it.
Then if the "drop out" drops out, then you could rebond it.

I'm a disc fan. Things I'm not a fan of include, but are not limited to:

- Wearing out my rims
- Digging aluminum bits out of my brake pads
- Hellish brake squeal when riding in wet conditions
- Spending a half-hour aligning pads properly
- Boiled okra

Solution:- try Fried Okra coated with seasoned Cornmeal.

So instead of tasting like snot, it'll taste like breaded snot? No thanks.

Okra..... yerggguk!  Breading okra transforms it from crap to craptacular.  Hardly an improvement IMO.

I'm impressed Colin, that someone across the pond would know about fried okra. A southern US "okie" type food. I happen to like fried okra. Also started to reassemble "Ol Mule" with the new swing arm I fabed. I have some pics but having trouble getting them down to size. Will post them when I can
