Then bought the Toronto cycles one and it fitted OK with a tiny bit of filing. Everything mounted up well and fitted nicely with a 160mm rotor; it not only flexed but actually bent under braking force making it more than useless. I commuted to work on it twice for this to happen, it never saw any significant braking force! For what it's worth the brakes were 2008 formula oro k18s.</p> <p>I'd get the Magura HS33s. I'd invested in the brakes as my first foray into discs - I bought a new frame within a week of fitting the adapter...... </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/installing-disc-brakes-onto-a-2000-trek-frame#post-3769940 Mon, 07 May 2012 21:49:52 +0000 clubber 3769940@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>I'm more clubbier than you <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":)" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> </p> <p>it would work with rear facing dropouts but you'd have to undo the adaptor to remove the wheel </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/installing-disc-brakes-onto-a-2000-trek-frame#post-3769792 Mon, 07 May 2012 21:13:43 +0000 eyerideit 3769792@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Clubbier, I saw your post on the cx great he other day and the A2Z you've got looks quite good.

But I took it to a LBS to have the hoses shortened (as I'm new to discs) and they realigned the mount for me.

I ended up filing down some of the fat washers you get on v-brake pads (to adjust toe in) </p>
