That's seems to be the easiest way (having HPM do up a frame / fork with the disc fittings attached).

The Xootr frame is aluminium, so getting mounts attached to the rear is going to be tricky. The Xootr fork is steel, so anyone handy with a torch should be able to help you out there.

Just curious, why discs?
