Disc brakes on a Downtube IXFS
Just had a question about this, and I'm right out of my depth - never owned a disc braked bike, dunno what disc tabs look like. Yikes! Is it possible?

the tabs are the flanges on the fork that accomodate the caliper.
there needs to be holes pre drilled in the hub for the disc that is the correct distance to fit into the caliper to fit the disc.
the one on their website (black, i dont' remember the model) has the correct fork, but looks like the hub cannot accomodate a disc.
im sure this is a part that IS laced to the rim on the production model, tho.
