there was a company that made an adaptor that allowed you to fit a disc brake onto a v-brake frame. it had a torque arm that bolted on where the v-brake would go and then it fitted over the hub in some way. Any one know what i'm talking about or got one for sale?
Info much appreciated.
Thanks.

Specialized made one specifically for Spesh frames.

I have one, but it's on a bike. I don't want to sell it, but I'm happy to do some pictures if you're thinking of getting one fabricated.

Thanks all. The pedal on one won't fit and I used to have an a2z one and it was ok but not great. I think brake therapy make one but it ain't cheap!

Supercyles do one that looks like the old Hope one with the torsion arm

The Hope one would only fit old Hope hubs too - you needed a shorter axle version.
