We know a team in the Fresno area that switched from the winzip to the Avid on a brand new Santana. They seem happy with the change. Next time we see them we will ask them about the adaptor.
We use an Avid disc as the only rear brake and we love it for fast winding descents. It is not a drag brake to shave off speed!! We alternate the disc use with the front brake from 1:1 to 4:1 depending on the terrain's braking demands.
