LTS rear disc-brake options

[haydnw]

I've just realised that the new wheelset I've bought for my LTS is disc-specific. Not a problem on the front, but it could be considered a moment of madness given that I don't have rear disc mounts.

So, what are the options for adding mounts? I know there are a few different types of mount available, so I'm just wondering if anyone knows which ones will and won't work, or which ones might be better than others?

I have the BETD lts mount on my DH and it works just fine. looks far nicer than the universal ones that go upto canti mount. just bolt on and forget.

there was a disc rear end made by GT for the LTS.
I had one on my 97 LTS-1, but they only made 1000 of them so hard to come by.
Think I paid about £75 for it on german ebay and it looked so good as it was the same as the standard rear end, just with disc tabs...completely standard looking.
I kick myself for selling that frame every time a read about or see an LTS.

The BETD converter looks like the nicest alternative, but if you have patience then try to hold out for an original.

Cheers guys - I fairly sure I don't have the patience to wait for a new back end , and the BETD ones seem to mount onto pre-existing holes that my back end doesn't have. I was thinking more of this kind of thing:

but not sure whether it'll work or not.

On the one in my pic you have to drill and tap a hole in one of the dropouts
iseems only the lts where the rear end has the chunky dropouts will do
