    Hydraulic Disc brake conversion adaptor

    Got just two, candle stands maybe, The vendor in US did sell 48 sized discs for the adaptors. Would be an option for you. I am going to try and make an adaptor first. They call the 48 ones "Euro" spec., I dunno why..

    Couple of questions..

    Thanks Dave for that info. I will see how bad it is when everything is snugged down. Trying to find an ISO disc with enough meat left around the existing holes to drill new ones is not easy. They are all lightened to the last. Possibly a small adaptor plate on the adaptor would work and would...

    Couple of questions..

    Hydraulic Disc brake conversion adaptor

    From what I can gather from my inquiries, the 48mm ones that I got are not very standard and its practically impossible to get discs to suit. 44mm ISO are the normal and 48mm are used on some cheap Chinese scooters and bicycles. So please note the above if you are looking for disc adaptors...

    Soldering irons

    Recently took a chance on a gas Iroda Solderpro 120 from Maplin. So far it has been brilliant. Plenty of power and has a mini blow torch for bigger jobs. Could be carried on the bike for running repairs. Great on the boat too. They were on offer here in Ireland last week. +1 on the lead solder.

    Hydraulic Disc brake conversion adaptor

    Ok, Got two of these from the US. Tried my existing disc but holes are different, possibly imperial... I think mine are ISO. Does anyone know if there are non ISO discs available this side of the pond. Got two adaptors so I could stack them if the spacing was bigger than normal. (which it looks...

    Freewheel 11t

    Ok, Thanks for that. I will try that one. Being nine gears it should be possible to get it to change without clicking. I will measure my width to make sure it will fit. Might need a slight expansion. Does not look like there is anything better on the market since I was on here last. But as you...

    Hi from Ireland

    Hi All, Threatening to build a bike for years so took the plunge. Bought a used Carrera Kraken and a 1000w 48v rear hub motor off ebay. Plan to use it on forest paths mainly to see how it goes. I have a few 5000mha lipo's that I use for flying model hexacopters so will probably hook a few...
