Looking for disc brake adapter information....

[cjs]

Hello everyone!

I am looking for some information regarding the Chain Gang Lowrider disc brake adapter for freewheels. If you have one, please let me know.

I can PM you my cell number so we can talk it over, or PM me your number and I can get ahold of you.

Thank you very much.

ChoppersUS got one too, I'm assuming it the same deal.

Either one would work. I am going to try and make one myself. I know the pattern of my disc setup and the thread on the freewheel, I just need to know the thickness/width of the adapter.

Thank you.

I started to make my own adapter. I dismantled a ten-speed cassette for the internal threads and I turned down the outside of it to fit a thick washer that I bought from McMaster-Carr. I mig welded the washer to the hub, and now I just need to drill and tap the rotor holes. After about an hour tinkering with the old cassette and spending almost four bucks for that washer, I found this . . . http://www.electricscooterparts.com/brakes.html Item # BRK-142 is near the bottom of the page.
I called them and I was told that the shipping for their adapter is less than five dollars! It was not worth the time I spent trying to make my own adapter, but I didn't want to spend fifty bucks for one either.

BTW, it'd be cool if you posted an INTRO for yourself. 8)

If you add time into it, then yes, it would be smarter to buy it. However, with this being a hobby, time isn't something I worry about. I prefer to make components that I can, just adds to the personal touch.

That's cool . . . I do the same thing whenever I can.
I forgot to ask . . . are you doing the adapter for the front end or rear?

I was going to do the front first, with plans on doing the rear if the front works out fine.

When I do the rear, I am planning on welding on tabs instead of using any kind of adaptor.
