newbie..need pointers
I just bought a older specialized rockhopper with a hard tail and what I would call normal rim friction brakes. I also bought a lot of different parts for the bike, rock shox boxxer front fork, front and rear rims for 6bolt disc brakes, front and rear Hope04 hydraulic disc brakes, and sinister rotors. I need help with the rear brake conversion to the disc. I see all these so called adapters for the caliper but haven't found any pictures of how they go on or look on the bike. I am a diesel mechanic so if I see what it should look like I can figure most anything out.. so if anyone has any tips, tricks, and pics of rear disc conversion on a hardtail frame just let me know thanks for your time...
