Wondering if any one knows where a friend of mine can buy the disc adaptors which you attach to your hubs to run disc brakes. I remember hearing about them, have searched eBay, lots of websites and on here but no luck.
Thanks, Jammerz

    the only ones i have ever seen are no longer worth getting as the were not cheap and required a wheel rebuild. just get ither new hubs or new wheels.

    the adaptors were only worthit for very expensive hubs about 10 years ago.

    if he wanted disc then why did he not buy the stp1 as it has disc ready wheels or the stp0 as it has discs?

    Think he got that because he didn't see that his money was going anywhere.
    I'll speak to him today and tell him.
