why on the right side? disc that is .
anyway what brand caliper, rotor to use that goes on the right hand side?
or just use this, on the left?
http://custommotoredbicycles.com/yahoo_site_admin/assets/images/DSCN4947.104192452_std.JPG you can strap and or weld on.
i have the Sunlite Deluxe.
i already knew about their bracket being on the right and the 160mm rotor max Dia. limit or can you go bigger?
i figured all the readn' i've done i would've found the solution before the forks arrived.
but why in the heck are they welding the bracket on the opposite side?
the curious goose would love to here on this.
ps the bracket is facing forward on the forks, i have noticed other bikes brackets (on the left) are on the rear back side of their forks.
thanx.
.bf.

Some of the discs are mounted using a freewheel disc adapter. Threads on then the disc bolts to it. Or a flip flop hub. So if adapter is on the braking side it will inscrew it self when caliper grabs disc. That's my morning input

ok where to find a caliper for the right or can a left caliper (piston) set-up be used?,
being the mount on the right hand side of the fork faces front.
also was thinking of changing the front hub with the 6 holes for the rotor attachment.
