Wanted Specialized shark fin disc adapter buy, hire for a few days, swap ….

[Lostcause]

I didn’t know these existed and wondered what the hole on the non drive side of my M2 stumpjumper was for. I was going to sell the frame as I prefer discs nowadays but it would be great to be able to keep and use my old bike. Please let me know if you have one you’d be prepared to sell or swap. Fingers crossed

If anyone has one that they don’t want to sell but would loan one so I can cost up re-making some please get in touch.

Remake of Specialized Shark Fin Disc Brake Adapter

Long shot, but here we go... I am currently refurbishing a 1999 S Works frame. Naturally I want to run hydraulic disks rather than V brakes. I've discovered that Specialized once made a very sought after "shark fin" adapter for this exact purpose... Of course, hardly anybody bought them...

I’m not the only one considering making these things. Thanks for sharing.
Hopefully patience will pay off lol

You mean like these

Yeah that’s what I’m after. Don’t suppose you could part with it?

I sold it a while ago.

However I’ve spotted several on bikes since then now I know what they are (issue is they always attached to a FSR that’s likely cracked so I stay away unless pocket money)

Get looking on fb marketplace and gumtree for FSRs. If I spot one I’ll let you know.

That’s fantastic. I’d don’t have a Facebook account, never had one so figured I’m permanently doing the social media detox lol. Thanks very much for the offer of a heads up, I’ll have a look on gumtree…..
