Morning All

Hope all are cool and groovy :)

A friend has asked me to fit hayes hydraulic disc brakes to an old frame that has a 22mm mount. I had a look on chain reaction who had one but unfortunately they are out of stock and say it will be about a month before they get stock.

Does anybody know where I can one from?
Wow great ship man. Looks like a fish, flies like a fish, steers like a cow.

    what type of brake are you wanting to fit? and what size disc?

    A2Z also do one. But some frames need the hayes caliper due to clearance etc...

  • Will be fitting a set of Hayes Sole's. The bike is being upgraded with spares I have after a rebuild of my two bikes. Will check out the A2Z one too.

    err i do not think that frame has the hayes 22mm mount.

    please provide a picture of the "mount".

    not a hayes mount.

    it is not even a disc mount.

    if you want to fit a disc you will need to get an A2Z universal disc converter.

    or a new frame.
