Full sus B17 disc mount/adapter

BjornYesterday · May 2007

Hey there, I'm having trouble getting a disc adapter plate for my Marin B17 (old full sus '98/'99 model). I have been told that there were about
4 different mounting styles for the same frame of the same year. This particular 1 is top mounted, has 2 10mm bolt holes and are 60mm centre to centre. Does anyone know of anywhere who would be likely to stock what I need or would I need to get it manufactured?

Btw, Marin said they dont have them and BETD neither.

HOPE Tech may be able to machine one for you. Give them a ring and ask [:)] I had them machine a disc mount i designed a few years back (OK, it was about 5. lol). Super nice company to deal with too.

BTW, do BETD just not have them in stock, or are they not making them at all?

Hi kal-el, the guy at BETD said to try around first and if I didnt get anything sorted to phone him back and he'd see what he could do. I presume he would have machined one for me. I spoke to a couple of Marin dealers they said the same thing. So, i thought i'd exhaust my other options and finally if I have no joy just get one made (which is looking like the easier option all round!).

QUAD, the people that do brakes make an adaptor that would work if you have cone type hubs. IIRC MBUK rated it fairly well.
