|   Avid Mechanical Disc Question | Eric
Jul 22, 2003 7:02 PM | | I have a '02 Trek Fuel 90 & am upgrading to the Avid Mechanical Disc Brakes. The mounting adaptor that came with the brakes, doesn't fit the "Trek Disc-O" frame mount for the rear brake. Do I need an adaptor? If so what size, & where can I get one from? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You'll wind up with (in order):
Frame dropout, Disc-0 mount, Avid mount, Avid caliper, plus lots of bolts to hold everything together.
This is the system I have on my '01 Sugar and believe it or not, after it's all clamped up, it works just fine. Unfortunately, since metal isn't weightless, you'll carry the whole mess around with you wherever you ride.

| Any disc brake requires the Trek (et al) bolt-on mount | shiggy©®
