Advice required regarding disk brake and hubs

[ibbz]

Re: Re:

Not really, I mixed, matched and painted the magura so lever and caliper are all black (except for the red lever adjustment knob), and bought just a basic Shimano disc brake (alivio ir similar I think), as the lever shape and size is very similar to the magura, so they look and feel almost the same

Thanks - inspirational and if it turns out my rear triangle hasn’t any mounts I’ll be sure to copy you (if you don’t mind) and have you any pics pls?

This is what the hope bolt on system looks like.

I use the cheaper A2Z attachment on the rear of my`97 Kona King Kikapu(very similar to your frame) and can run any modern disc set up.I recently got an XT caliper and dual control shifter/lever for £20 and its spot on.

Re:

Just to add to what Dyna-it has said, with the hope torque arm system you will also need a hope xc or bulb rear hub that has the correct “short” axle that goes with the torque arm system. Also as Dyna-to has said the hub needs to be the 5bolt version with the removable spider. The 6 bolt hubs will fit but it’s a pain in the ass to fit/remove the wheel, I know this as I have tried.

I had a look at the frame - very similar
I’ll have a look at mine shortly when I pop into the garage
Thanks for this - any pics? Would love to see

Seems like a royal pain
I reckon I’ll stick with Magura disc front and HS33 rear if it turns out (as I suspect) that there are no mounts at the rear - but this thread is invaluable help to others like me unfamiliar with discs - should be a sticky!
