Wanted 22mm Hayes caliper wanted! Someone must have one!!!

[lawson]

As above please, I need a Hayes 22mm caliper or brake that fits the trek, Gary fisher and Klein bikes from around the 1999 period.

I have bought 4 different adapters to try and get a modern caliper onto the frame, but it just doesn't work...... So I need a 22mm Hayes caliper.

Someone help me please!

Cheers Mike

Have you tried a Hayes to flatmount adapter?

 

[lawson]

I've tried everything! Literally!

Can you put a picture up?

I struggled on my Spooky but got these to work. It’s a 3d printed steel adapter with flat mount Growtac caliper. No other cable calipers would fit in the small space because the seatstay interfered with the cable actuator.

That's cool but wowsers they are expensive!

I'll put some pics up in a bit, but I've tried the 22mm flat plate to flat mount with an xt flat mount caliper

I've tried the 22 to is adapter from Ali express

Plus many other is to post mount adapters


It's a demoralising experience for sure!

Also on an old spooky. The actual adapter was about £30. I can see how it would be easy to make my own.

My issue is that the space is super tight on the frame. My pic will explain things!
