Disc brake+road carbon fork
 
Hi,
Does anyone knows of any gadget to install a disc brake on a carbon road fork? And for the rear wheel that doesn't look like a car rear door shock?
Regards

Not going to happen. Think about it, all of the force of brakeing is concentrated on one fork leg that wasn't designed to withstand it. From the gadget marketer's point of view, some customer is sure to try to install it onto a fork that somebody else designed to be as lightweight as possible.

Look for a fork that has disc caliper mounts designed into it.

mmmmmmm
 
You might be right. It is an interesting point of view. I just wanted to make things more difficult than they should be, but it might be an unsatisfied condition.

Thanks.
