Hi I have a Klein Attitude race and would like to mount disc brakes, unfortunatley I have no mounts on the frame for the calipers on the rear.
Is it possible to weld some mounts on or can you buy an adapter for the frame, to enable me to mount the calipers.
I tried searching on hear for some answers and all i,ve come uo with is A2Z, but when i,ve looked on their site I can't see anything.
Look forward to hearing your replies.

Hi, I don,t have a picture but i,ll post one up , bike is 5 yrs old I think. I have found these things A2Z Universal Rear Disc Brake Mount Adapter #DM-UNI
heres the link http://www.jerseycycles.com/Product-Pag ... ducts.html
i,m not looking for anything that is particularly bullet proof as my riding isn,t what it used to be , just being in mud in the forest a lot you realise that rim brakes do suffer with the amount of crap you get in them.0 -
please find a image of your rear drop out as it it is like the Treks of that era then there is a dedicated mount for it.
Or just go to your local trek/klien etc dealer and get them to sort it."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

is it like this with out the adaptor ?
a trek/klien/fisher adaptor for about the year.
available from http://www.pedalon.co.uk/acatalog/disc_mount.html"Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

As far as I am aware the dropouts on the Klein Attitude are rear facing. Does anyone know where you can get adaptors for rear facing dropouts?I have pain!0

some did and some with the rear faceing drop out also have Hayes 22mm disc mounts on the chain stay.
but with out seeing what the OP actually has for drop outs it is all guess work."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
