Bike Setup:
first original part from one SPECIALIZED ENDURO then in one KHS TANDEM ALITE with AVID BB7 caliper and Shimano rt-75 (170mm) with FOX Float r fork, Shimano Deore LX/xt drivetrain, Truvativ crankset.Shimano deore 36 holes front hub and Shimano specific tandem hub whith HUGI disk adapter with Shimano 170 mm disk.
Bottom Line:
I change the V-Brakes for disks in one frame without adapter for rear disk and the braking performance becames better a lot. Thanks for the SPECILIZED engineers!!! I think people ho have very nice frames without disk brake adapter and want to feel disk brakes should buy it.

Duration Product Used:

Strengths:
Works pretty well, no flex to speak of
Weaknesses:
With my Shimano XT 755 calipers I couldn't use either the 160mm or 203mm rotors. Just so happened that a Grimeca System 8 180mm rotor fit perfectly though!
Similar Products Used:
none.
Bike Setup:
Santa Cruz Tazmon, with no disk mounts.
Bottom Line:
Allowed me to use disk brakes on the rear of my otherwise diskless bike. Works as advertised.

Strengths:
its the only way to get discs on 99-00 FSRs besides the dangerous aftermarket stuff.
Weaknesses:
i used all the wavy washers but the rotor still scraches the suspension joint bolt. it'll be nice if they have post mount version, so i dont have to use double adaptors
Similar Products Used:

Bike Setup:
99 fsr enduro sport
Bottom Line:
get it if you have i bike that needs it, don't if you don't(kinda pointless, why get something you dont need)
