Can't fit disc caliper to 1996 Bomber Z2s

[02gf74]

they wont be IS mounts, thats for definite, back then there were a few competing standards.

No, you're quite right. The guy in my LBS thinks that my only option is to buy some new forks.

DO NOT DO THAT JUST YET
I have Z1 Bomber, 1996 vintage. I am working with B2 (member on this forum) to get some adapters made up to convert to IS mount.

We are at the last stages, I'll be making hopefully the final template to check all fits then B1 will bang out a few .....

i had some that a previous owner had drilled out to accept is mount. is that an option?

You mean that someone had drilled out the Bombers?

they had drilled out the upper bolt hole for the caliper mount.

It's true, I should have some adaptors to mount IS standard calipers to Z1 & Z2's in the next couple of weeks.

You can redrill the upper hole closer to the fork leg to get the 51mm spacing, but you will then need to use a 177mm disc.

i'm sure a few members on here have made mounts for bombers, try PM'ing mikee or big.eck. I know eck's made his own mounts

Cheers mikeekim. Looking further down the thread, it seems that someone is on the case.

If you take that route, please sell me your Z2's!

I'll keep you in mind, KIS!

Fantastic. You know where to find me!

I think I'll just wait for your adapter...

02gf74 & B3: I think I've found some more customers for your Bomber disk brake adapters...

a) I'm not a member of BikeRadar
b) They can't buy anything yet!



Do you think you'll sell the adapters painted, powder-coated or without a finish?

 

[02gf74]

^^ ok, I've done it (became br member recently).

Any news on the mounting adapters? Are any ready to be shipped yet? :?
