basically i have a fixie, the forks are really high so you cant fit a normal brake on the front, i was wondering if anyone has seen or heard of a fixed gear bike with a front disk that is still capable of barspins. it will all work, its just finding long forks that have a disk mount and a wheel or hub that i can run on my fixie with a brake. oh and btw this is my bike, http://www.mafiabike.com/manhattan/manhattan.html for the price its f*cking sick, no problems with it yet and it gets ridden pretty hard.
There's a guy on here who converted his fixed gear to a front disc brake. Will try and find him.
sweet, had a go with bits i had lying around and its going to work just waiting on money to purchase a new wheel and try and fine some forks that don't weigh a tonne like the ones i found do.
I've converted my pompetamine to fixed with disc front. I brought hope hoop 29er wheel and Planet X Kaffenback fork. You are best to look for a 29er front wheel. I can't help with your barspinz though.
i was thinking this, but it would involve drilling the frame, and seeing as its a front brake i just need a different top cap and bolt then just run the cable through the forks.
if your fork is high enough, i think you could try buying a top cap that allows you to route you brake cable through your stem so you wouldn't have to worry about getting tangled. i know bontrager makes forks with disk brake mounts
Hello. It's me, the disc break guy. Youre in luck - i have the chrome deep v wheels with front sealed disc compatable hub at the front. Sadly I've sold the forks. Hit me.
The forks were fire eye stokers, customed where I work. Allwe did was grind off the v brake bosses, and drill a hole for the brake cable to thread through.

yeah i think im going to end up welding a disk mount onto my forks i have at the moment. as for the wheel situation i think i may have sorted one my mate at a bike shop so hopefully not to long and it should be done, thanks for the picture gives me somthing to aim for
