also just in case, I AM NOT AN ENGINEER, NOR AM I A MANUFACTURER. i am just a guy who milled out a piece of plastic and took it to a CNC shop to produce a working part. while this part is made from billet 6061 t6 aluminum, there can not be any warranty, period. i am using the exact same part you are purchasing, i am taking the same risk in using this part that you are. it looks and feels like it will outlast the frame it's bolted to. you may have to file alittle here or there, maybe not, i dont know. but this one fits nice and tidy. so please READ this and UNDERSTAND it's intent before buying this part.

sorry but it has to be said

Are you a Nicky Hayden fan? Simple is fine with me. Are there holes pre-drilled in your drop out?

I'm definitely gonna need one with a heat sink then. How embarrassing would it be to have your carbon swing-arm come unbonded on the trail. I won't be upgrading to disc any time soon, but having the mount means that I can.

i believe it will take alot more heat to unbond your drop-out than this set-up is capable of. you would have to ride the rear brake down a mountain road miles long to generate that kind of heat. the whole surface of this part is somewhat of a heatsink. the heat would have to travel from the pads to the piston heads, to the caliper, then the adapter, then this adapter, then the drop-out.

I was thinking the size of that adapter is such that it would make for a pretty darn good heat sink.

So no one yet? These are ready to order. If 10 people order then I can always refund some money. I'm not going into bussiness here. I spent 90 bucks on mine. I am not trying to make a profit.I went hauling but down my hill about a mile riding the rear brake to check for heat. Rotor was hot but the part was literally very cool. I know it works.

I guess I could put them on ebay so your purchase is guarantied but then those in UK have to pay somekind of premium from what I understand, I coudnt ship as a gift. Also you would have to give me 5 to 9 days to ship so they can be made at the same time, but the same is true without ebay. They have to be made together or they are 90 a piece. Let me know how you want to do this. Also ebay charges 10% so add that to the price. I can't afford to lose money on this.

paypal is 3% but that's only a couple of bucks. I figured that into the 50 plus shipping price

Wow - well done.

I might be interested - - - and I don't even need one.

Wonder how those holes line up on a non drilled/tapped dropout such as on an Oz/5500?
(drilling and tapping your only good dropout can be a little nerve wracking)
One would probably have to assemble the unit, clamp it to the rotor then wheel forward, mark then drill

I maybe in for one of these. I got a CF swing arm

actually the pictures dont show it but this piece is totally machined out on the back side to fit into the oval perfectly, becoming flush to the back of the drop-out. its really very nice. it was a lot of work geting that right with my dremmell on the piece of plastic that i took to the machinist. i probably should have taken a picture of that before mounting it. anyway you shoulb be able to clamp it into the drop-out and mark the holes mark the holes, everything should line up perfect after that
