azz-d Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 does any one know if you can buy a bracket that will mount into where the magura's fit that adapts to a disc so you could have a disc on a non disc frame? is this possible or am i just thinking of something for future release? as i have an echo lite front disc only but would like to convert the rear to disc but am wondering if this is possible without buying a new frame is there such an addaptor? i also need to be validated if anyone can help this would be greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Dunstan Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 No, nor would there ever be one made, the only way to do it, is get a disc mount attached to your frame. And asking to get validated, is a sure fire way to make the validation system take a lot longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And asking for validation should not make it take longer it just puts off trials riders from joining as i got recommended by two friends who no longer use the site because of the validation rule as they were on here for 2 months and still never got validated after making numerous posts and comments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexxRogers Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 No, there isn't a bracket. If you talk to Muel, he made one for his Echo. Should help you out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Alty Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) That bracket is going to have to be so long, its going to either be really flimsy + flex loads, or weigh a tonne :\. Your best off either keeping maggies or getting a new frame. You could get a disc mount welded onto your frame, but thats going to be expensive i imagine. Also you your comment about there should already be a bracket made, alot of frames come with both disc + 4-bolt mounts anyway, and alot of people prefer HS33 on the back as opposed to disc. So theres not going to be very much demand for such a bracket, making it more expensive to make (as you cant mass-produce). Also asking for validation is off-putting. Your friends cant have made that many topics, if you just post in new members chat, helping people as best you can etc, then your going to get 5 votes pretty quickly...

dann2707 Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Looks like it's new frame time mate if you're dedicatedly wanting rear disk. Personally I think rear HS33 with decent pads is much better than rear disk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dann2707 Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Exactly. Not saying rear disks are bad at all, because they're not they're fantastic with a ton of hold. I just prefer bite to hold. Although it's detrimental to have hold for pretty much everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Dunstan Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) http://www.rocknrollbikes.com/trials/brake-parts/onza-disc-brake-converter.html Christ, my blueprints are true! So you'd need vee adaptors then this ugly contraption just to use a disc brake? Save the hassle and get a Maggie. This is a great solution when you want to fit disc brakes to that old school frame with no disc mounts. Fits 90% of old alloy frames with conventional pressed plate rear dropouts. May be a problem if the dropouts are not flat around the dropout where the wheel axle fits. ie CNC side webs etc. Edited January 15, 2011 by xDUNSTANx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
