You may have heard this before and it may be me being stupid.

I have got some XCR forks for my project bike now but i have a problem with the disc brakes.

I have plenty of rear disc brakes kicking about in my garage and none of them will fit my forks. Is there anything out on the market that will convert something like this or am i just going to have to find a fair bit for new brakes?

Thanks :mrgreen:

    Try the correct adaptor?

    And the brakes are what?

    They're Tektro Auriga comp ones but i personally don't like them.

    Buy an adaptor. Buy a bleed kit sort and fit.

    Levers are flip flop so one of th easiest ones to do..
