I wanted to bump this thread. @bikeric – Did you ever get a new batch of these adapters made? I should be taking delivery of a 1998 Homegrown Factory Susp. frame with the 22mm mount, so I will be needing something.
Thanks!
@bikeric – I’m interested in an adapter. I sent you a PM. Thanks!
[quote=bikeric]It shows the “Forged Dropouts with Rear Disc Brake Mount” on the second picture.

Bikes are more fun to work on…cars suck!
[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!
[quote=dyebhai]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=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!
So I’m new to the forum and trying to gain an understanding of all the models and features of Homegrowns.
Am I understanding correctly that the bike in the original post is a 1998 hardtail with the 22mm disc brake mount? I went to the “Homegrown Models” page trying to get more info but I’m not seeing a hardtail with the disc brake mount until the 2000 model year. Just curious if this 1998 frame was special?
Thanks!
