[quote=bikeric]Very good catch!! I guess the blue frame in question is actually a 1999 “Pro” model. Not a Factory, but it did have the 22mm Hayes disc brake mount.[/quote]
Do you think that was a late-run 1999 then…maybe when they were starting to incorporate the 22mm mount for the 2000 model year bikes? Or is the page data below wrong, which is generating my confusion? When I look at this page, I see the disc brake listed as “None” for a 1999 Pro Hardtail:

Sorry, I’m not trying to be annoying, just trying to understand what exists out in the wild. Beautiful bike and appreciate your efforts to keep these frames “current”.
Cheers!
There were definitely ’99 bikes with the 22 mm disc mount, and supposedly a few ’98s, though I doubt that’s accurate.
The only disc mounts used on these bikes were the 22 mm Hayes mount and an IS mount. The IS mount is easily adapated to modern brakes, so no big deal there.
If you have an HG hardtail with the 22 mm mount, this is the best adapter out there for it.

If there are Bass Boat 1999s out there with the disc brake mount that can then be adapted with the option offered in this thread, then that is what I’ll watch for. Thanks for the reply!
[quote=tomatoadmin]Could be a mistake on my part. I was going based on a friend’s bike that was supposedly a ’99.[/quote]
No problem! Maybe it was a mid-run/mid-year transition thing as well so you have a mix of frames without mounts and some with. I’ve also seen differences in a bike frame that was sold as a complete bike versus a frameset.
I have a car that is challenging to buy parts for since is was right in the middle of a body/model year update, so some of the features were from existing model year, and some features were from the next. I love having to explain things to parts guys every time I repair something.
Thanks!
It shows the “Forged Dropouts with Rear Disc Brake Mount” on the second picture.

Is that all the proof you have? Guess I can’t just blame it on that bike…reading is fundamental. *fool*
ETA: Looks like the Elite and Pro had the mount but the base model did not though it did have forged dropouts. Interesting. And yes, I fixed my mistakes. Thanks for catching them, guys.
It’s bad enough that I have to clarify that my car doesn’t have the Cali engine before I can select brake pads or whatever, I can’t imagine mid-year car problems.
LOL. I’ve got a 1989 4Runner that suffers from mid-year build change issues. I need to order the “Pre 04-89” parts to get what I need.

[/quote]Guess I need to stop looking at forums and trying to parse out fine details late at night! I kept looking in the “Brakes” section, assuming it would be mentioned there.
Bikes are more fun to work on…cars suck!
Sorry that picture wasn’t working in the quote, zuren. Had to re-link it. Reason 750 I need to make time to switch CMS for this site.
Hello there!
Great idea/design. I read every post in this thread, and would love to get my hands on this neat 3D printed adaptor for my Homegrown. It’s getting harder and harder to find NOS v-brake Mavic and Shimano wheels. No one makes quality 26″ rim brake compatible wheels today, and I wear out the rear brake track about every year, so rear disc conversion only makes sense. Verified PayPal user.
@bikeric – I’m interested in an adapter. I sent you a PM. Thanks!
