well hopefully someone can come up with one. ive put up a couple threads with no replies and ive now asked a few people with i drives one here. it would be the cheaper option. i have two rear ends and neither have disc mount. one is polished so wouldnt need stripping and the other is blue. i dont want to fork out too much though

Do you know which model I-Drive had disk mounts and if its compatible with your front end?
i think my model is the 2000 one. i think the models from 2001 onwards had disc mounts. most rears are compatible, just as long as it has the eccentric bb housing and pivot point. the newer i drives are different and it is very easy to tell which will fit

I put the wheel in and placed the caliper on disk. Lined it up and squeezed the lever to hold it in place so I could have a look at the positioning. It looks like the A2Z parallel to is adapter will make the perfect braze on disk mount

A good retro fit adapter is available from Woodman components in the USA.
There are others

I found it on Woodmans website by accident as I was actually looking at their headsets which are very nice.
The USA has several companies making such things, the woodman and another have a torsion bar thing that runs from the clamped on mount to a canti brake pivot to help spread the stress caused by the disc brake forces.
Just Checked its a Woodman Disco brake adaptor costing $87 what ever that is in pounds of the realm excluding shipping and tax.
Looked way better than an A2Z adaptor.
Just found the link below to a UK distributor, pricy but nice and includes a Woodman Disco hub for £140 all in.
