disc brake clamps for early suspension forks judy etc

grpnpton

anyone known anything about these and who made them early hope design perhaps allowed you to attach adapter clamps to fit discs

Do you mean a bolt on mount to fit discs to non disc forks?

Not something I'd entertain personally, and you'll have to go back a bloody long way, Judy's had IS mounts in 1998!

Buy new forks.

I wouldn't do it either, older forks just not designed for disc brake stresses.

nicklouse

which fork are you wanting to try and fit discs to?

and the single or double kit?

Hope used to do an adaptor that mounted to the axle and then had a reaction rod that went to the fork leg, but you need the whole setup of hub, mounting, caliper to fit it....I've seen it on an old Trek Y-framed FSer.

The German fork maker Brunn use clamps on their forks.

The blue clamp looks like what they use.

Here's a clamped fork that probably dates back to around the mid 90's
