Not mine in the video, I can’t take credit for that. But I did find inspiration in it.Love that build of yours - the BMX style bars look great on it. Very envious of your workshop too!

i did a rear disc brake conversion on an old 1998 handsome dog frame i had and i used the rear rack screw holes to help secure the adaptor plate.The rear disc adapter. I think all it needs is a bit of aluminium plate cut to add some height to the seat stay, and some washers to prevent the outer plate from bending when tightened down. In the worst case, the IS tabs may need filing to get the caliper alignment spot on.
I suspect getting it just so will take longer than it feels like it should, but it'll make a nice bit of rainy day fettling.
This is the aspect of the build I'm least confident of, really hope it can be made to work well.

i did a rear disc brake conversion on an old 1998 handsome dog frame i had and i used the rear rack screw holes to help secure the adaptor plate.
i also had to cut it about quite abit to get it to fit the shape of the dropouts and to make it easier to remove the rear wheel.
yep thats what i did.I was thinking of adding a bolt into the rear rack screw hole to stop the adapter from rotating at all (the seat stay will brace it against the braking force, but there's currently nothing but the friction of the clamping force to stop it from rotating back in the other direction - eg if reversing the bike with the rear brake on).
The adapter looks like a decent design, but I guess it's hard to make something that will work with all the different variations of drop out types.
if you want i can get pictures of the other conversion i did. it was a much better job than the one i did on my Giant.@geddy1972 cool thanks, that gives me a bit more confidence that it should be possible to get this to work well with a bit of patient fettling!
Some pics would be great thanks. Would be good to see how you handled the cutting / filing of the clamp plate.if you want i can get pictures of the other conversion i did. it was a much better job than the one i did on my Giant.
but i could only fit a 140mm disc on the back of my Handsome dog frame due to the shape of the chainstays.
i will see what i can do.Some pics would be great thanks. Would be good to see how you handled the cutting / filing of the clamp plate.
