Looking to buy or rent an ISO fork disc jig
Last time I used one I borrowed from a local framebuilder here in Portland, Oregon, no longer building. If anybody can help, I'd much appreciate it.

I have a Phrunt Shui in Seattle I could send you to borrow. I think it would fit in the small USPS fixed rate box for like $6-7 each way.

Mark- I would be interested in your experiences with the Incepi after you used it. Andy

Question, I know it's not as good as a dedicated jig, but if you had the hub and brake, could you just put the hub in the frame/fork and clamp the brake onto the rotor, use that to tack? Maybe small quick tacks so you don't melt anything on the hub or the brake?
I know I did that on a tandem once long ago, like in the '80s, but I don't remember the brake brand or how well that method worked.
I guess if the brake has a piston on one side only*, then you might need to shim the rotor/hub connection while tacking, then take the shims out for use, so the rotor ends up centered between the pads when they're retracted.
* I don't pay attention to disk brakes, are they even made like that anymore? I'm guessing hydro brakes come in from both sides equally.

You would think someone bought one since Eric/Incepi was the first to have a post mount front jig.

It works just as expected. Really easy to loosen, file and swing back to make sure the brake boss fits the blade. Also, unlike the flat mount front adapter, the post mount gives plenty of torch access.

This is a fork I started on 5 years ago, just now getting around to finish it up. I forgot that the SL dropouts I used are stainless, I took a lot of time to carefully file the small attachment area on the disk brake bit for a snug fit as I had to use silver alloy filler just on this region. A careful perusal will reveal some repair work, which has been effected.

Thanks for the report on the tool. I bought one a few months ago and haven't had a chance to use it yet. Hopefully that will change soon.
