I’m still new here, and am beginning to get round to my possible S20 Carbon to S10 Carbon project when I came across this post. I am going to go through somewhat the same issue you seen to be pondering. I just finished updating my other bike…..a trek vrx that we bought one son back in 2000. Updated that with vintage, Hayes Mag G1 disc brake system. That bike also has the 22mm rear caliper mount but it hangs on the rear of the swing arm. The s20 tho will have to sit in the frame. I really know nothing about most of this, but I sourced, and found 4 complete sets of the G1/ Mag brake sets. I was looking for two complete sets, and spare parts for the future. I wanted to find all mint parts. I’ll say three of the four fit the bill. For insurance I also bought two of the a2z rear adapters just in case. I will say those rear calipers….in like original shape….we’re the hardest things I ever sourced on the internet. But if you keep looking, they are out there…..the adapters seem to only be briefly manufactured and sell out pretty quickly. I’m here looking into whether to replace the rear cracked swing arm on my s20 carbon, which is pretty damn close to showroom condition…..or swap its parts and upgrade it to an S10. The S10 body is knocked up a bit but not cracked anywhere. Does a bike shop do that? Or an auto body shop? How would I estimate which path to take. What were the OEM rims that had the discs mounted from the factory? For the trek I had to hunt down OEM Rolf dolomite disc wheels, and spares. I’m assuming the Schwinn will need Mavic rims? I’m about done fooling with the trek and lamenting hunting all this stuff all over again….
