It's for a low speed GF bike with aluminum frame. For $50 this looks quick and simple. No point in fabbing parts if bolt-on is adequate at a fair price (too many projects... :) ).

That looks familiar. I think that this design was created by a company called 2btherapy. I decided not to go with it because I did not have the u-brake boss on my frame. Try 2btherapy.com and look under "bikes"

Sorry to Jack the thread, :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Mr Rhino, : I am very interested to see what u did with your V10. Im doing a rear hub to 2009 stinky. has the floating rear brake (looks like it). I am thinking of using a 1/2 steel plate to replace the whole thing, incorporate some mounts on the tourque plate itself, do i even need to connect the floating arm back near the top of the brake mount? I guess i could i would help stiffin things up?? or does it need to pivot at the axle to avoid binding...... Do you have a pic of what you did? :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

KILLER DH

I just included the IS mount in the bolt-on custom dropout plate that I made, then fitted an IS 203mm Magura Gustav M adapter. Should be very similar with the bolt-on dropout of the Stinky.
