I was looking at the Brake therapy site. I'm a bit confused now, do you have to use Hayes hubs? I have Magura's.
Does anyone else make an adaptor that fits on the inside of the dropouts? Because I have breezer dropouts, the adaptors that fit on the outside like Mr Control and Hammer Heads can't work.

.be able to use any hub that conforms to the Int'l Standard.

The problem with adapters that fit on the inside of the dropouts is that the IS calls for the face of the mount (to which the caliper is bolted) to be flush with and parallel to the inside of the dropout. Any adapter bolted to the inside of the dropout would have to be stepped out to this position once clear of the confines of the dropout. Such an adapter would also require to you to reduce the overlocknut dimension of your hub's axle to allow for the thickness of the adapter, unless you had your frame cold set to allow for it.

chris king, ringle, wtb,crossmax,crosslink and a few more, all at the same (standard) 135mm mtb dropout spacing, with no reduction in overlock dimension or spreading of dropouts needed.
