Wow, good eye, bikeric… I think you may be right!

Oldschool559,

Your adapter looks very nicely made. Much nicer than the A2Z part. But like bikeric said, it would probably not work on our frames if a 180mm rotor is needed. 

Yes, the woodman worked very well. Easy to bolt up, align, etc.

Replace the swingarm. Been there, done that. 🙁

The A2Z adapter is absolute garbage, in my opinion.

If you can still find one, the Woodman “VRX Adapter” is a much better part for this than the A2Z adapter. It is much more precisely made (machined aluminum instead of stamped steel), and does not require a larger rotor. I paid about $30 for mine in 2006.

Here is a photo of the woodman adapter. I will try to remember to take a photo of my rear brake setup and post it here.

I noticed that my 1996 GT Zaskar LE uses the same type of clamp (but a different size).

Does anyone know who made these? Or is it just a Schwinn/GT part?

Thanks,

Graham

Easton also made the CT-2 post in 26.8.

I think fox sold a trunion mount shock for a while that would fit… but that was years ago…
