I just got the new Nashbar sale rag in the mail today and opened it up. The first thing I saw was a sale on Nashbar branded disc brakes for either disc mounts or post mounts.
What are post mount disc brakes? Disc brakes that can be mounted to the V/Canti posts?
I have no desire to get them, it just caught my eye.
I'd happily search for the info but I'm at work and using an SSH connection from my laser controller to access my home computer with a text based browser... not the friendliest thing in the world for surfing the net.

The mounting bolts go into the rear side of the fork near the dropout

Ahh cool. Can't read the PDF because of what I'm using to get online. But from the other site it seems that my assumption was wrong, which would make sense. I was wondering what the setup would look like if it were how I had imagined.
