I didn't see anyone else posting pics of the chainganglowrider 's disc fork in action, so here goes :
The tire is a Maxxis 26x2.5 Hookworm and clears just fine. I used spacers so I could run a normal 1 1/8" threadless mountain bike stem I had laying around.
The only difficulty I had was in the caliper carrier (the little black adapter between the caliper and the fork). I had to flip it around from the orientation the brake was used in on a mountain bike. I also had to use some washers between it and the fork. The brakes are some circa-2000 Hayes "champagne" hydraulic disc brakes.
This is my daily driver. The idea behind this bike is that I can leave it locked up in San Francisco and everything should still be on the bike when I come back
The coaster brakes couldn't keep up with the hills around here, so I figured I'ld throw these old disc's on there.
