If so where can I find them. >I just found this question and also have a xcr 2000 with no disc tabs on the rear sub-frame. A bike mechanic told me that welding one on would substantially weaken the frame. Is there any truth to this? Has anyone had success with this modification and if so where did you find the parts? E-mail me. Thanks. Brake Therapy ... http://www.therapycomponents.com/btmoreinfo.htm Two versions -- one has "float" and the other doesn't. Apparently, it is SPECIFIC to the hub you will be using (not exactly sure why since you can always shim the rotor). The BRAKE THERAPY adapter costs about $150 (!?!), now, instead of the $65 (?!?) I remember from a year-or-more, ago. Now, I don't know where I got that $65 number!
