Has anyone successfully done this?
I’m trying to put a Shimano M575 Rear Disc Brake on a 2000 Trek 6500 WSD frame. The frame has 2 22mm spaced holes in the top of the chainstay which I believe is an old Avid standard.
I’ve spoken to my LBS who’ve ordered an adapter but although I stated the age of the frame I didn’t specify the 22mm spacing so slightly concerned they’ve ordered a newer “disco-tech” type mount – they’re closed for the BH so I can’t confirm until Tues.
A quick google doesn’t seem to show an OEM mount; anyone know if such a beast exists?
There is this available from Canada:

Unfortunately it may not be compatible without modification; anyone know if there’s anything similar available in this country or better still an OEM mount? I came across an old MTBR thread which talked of a Hope 22mm to IS mount although I’m not sure how useful this would be?
Here’s a picture of the Canadian adapter installed:

Any help gratefully received…
