I have a spare Felt cruiser fork. Would this item work to make disc brakes work? I know I can make it fit, but I don't know how good of a product it is...

Which felt forks do you have? I dont know about the schwinn style but the monark style are super tough probabally the best made forks for a bicycle.
For the last 2 years they've said the bracket is out of stock, so I wouldn't count on being able to get one.
Same story as Manic Mechanic stuff.
The curved schwinn style forks would probabally work with one of venices disc adapter he also made one to fit the monark forks but not sure if it will fit the felt ones. That chopper us adapter works wkth the horizontal dropouts not sure which style dropouts the gr.ubee has but i have one in the basement i tried to make it fit a schwinn but it didnt work. I had to grind off some of the key thart holds it in place but its yours if you want to try to get it to work for the cost of shipping
Dont discount a drum brake hub for the front or rear ive used both drum and disc and for me the drum is hands down much better

I got mine from BicycleDesigner.com. Make sure you order the 1 1/8 headstem, not the 1 inch, mine came with bearings. I went with the 29" forks and a 20" wheel for a chopper feel, but you can cut the tubes to fit a 26" wheel. I also got my brakes and rims from them as well. You can even order the rims to come with the disc preinstalled to save time & hassle.
I bought some chopper forks from them about 4 years or so ago.1" for a rover frame.Worked pretty good but now they are sitting in the closet.not really into the chopper thing anymore but I might use them again later on,never know.They are very well made and strong and have disc brake mounts(and at this point I think that is probably the best way to go for a bike),but I never used them just had a coaster brake that was more than good enough.I have also gotten some great wheels and seats from streetlowrider.com(they have the best prices around)
GasX...what part of Florida are you in? I'm using a 1 1/8 suntour mtb suspension fork w/ avid bb7 disc brake.
Sorry, the steerer tube is too short. I'll have to source a new one before it will work in the GT2A frame. Before I do that, I have to replace my frame as it arrived bent last week...
