OK so..
I purchased the E2Z 22 to 51mm rear disc caliper adaptor and tried to make it work with my Avid Juicy Five brake that I had laying around and it doesn’t seem to fit with the frame. I’m wondering if anyone has had this same problem and has advice…
Do I need to find a different caliper that will fit?
I can post pics if it will help solve this problem!
Thanks guys!

hey boss,
what doesn’t fit exactly? 51mm is IS, I think, so you should be able to adapt the juicy to the end of the disk mount. I have heard of homegrowns needing special adapters to fit brake…the 22 to IS mount bumps the stay on some calipers, plus you need a larger rotor.
Something like this:http://www.torontocycles.com/Selling/Adapters.html and there’s a guy in Denver. Post some photos and maybe we’ll have a better idea.
All righty.
So the second picture shows the caliper not being able to fit in there w/ the frame.
I’ve seen Homegrowns with rear discs using this mount but its just not working.
Lets brainstorm.
Moby has a 2000 homegrown and he uses that adapter you might want to ask him how he got his to fit also the adapter from torontocycles does not work I ordered one but the guy from denver his name is Seth who makes them has the ones made only for the Schwinns his email is nanoseth@yahoo.com if you want to try one but there a bit heavy.
Hi Seth:
I can’t really tell from this angle, but you may need Hayes adapter P/N 98-15073. That replaces the bracket on the caliper, and gives you 51mm IS bolt holes, which should line up to the A2Z adapter.
Another potential (and more expensive) solution would be to get a 51 mm IS mount caliper, and do a new brake.
I think i’ll treat myself to an XTR rear caliper and save the trouble of more adapters. I’ll tell you how it goes.
Running a hydraulic line took a little thought but everything bolted up pretty good.- You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
