I was wondering if there were any mountainbikers on here?? I could do with some advice regarding disc brakes...
I own a Klein Attitude Race mountain bike (yeah, I know it's an antique LOL) which I use all the time. I've been thinking of upgrading to disc brakes for a while, however, the frame has no provision to mount the rear caliper. Does anyone know if there are any clamp-on type calipers/brackets for frames that don't have mounts for disc brakes? Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

Hey, I've got a question for you bikers. Do your bikes fit in the back of a 6gen? I have ST185 (5th gen), and I can fit 2 bikes inside the hatch - I was wondering if the 6gen is as roomy.
Thanks, Brady 1990 ST185 |
