You are going to need something akin to what you said in your original post that fixes to the brake pivot like the Brake Therapy ones:-

Although to be honest you don't need to have a rear disc other than symmetry, I have a couple of bikes that I can't put a rear disc on but as 95% of my braking involves the front wheel it is not an issue (I weigh in at 100Kg so there is a lot of mass to slow down too). I only use the rear brake to bring the back end round in corners when I need to and a good set of V's is more than up to the task.

I am going to follow your advice here I think - its for my Son and I don't think he really needs rear discs - For me it was more about symmetry, wheels and basically having the same brake levers / brake feel and so on.

That kit looks great but at $175 its out of the question.

Thanks for your help

You can find cheaper versions than the Brake Therapy one and they pop up on eBay quite often, I sold one on there for about £30.

If you want to keep some symmetry and feel on the brake levers you can always use cable actuated discs which would also be easier to maintain and a good way of getting your son involved with his bike and it's maintenance, that's what my dad did with me and I built my first BMX when I was 11 and haven't stopped since.

I was just looking at one of these kits last week, iirc it was £35 new!

I cant remember the manufacturer though..

Tried my best to find the link, it was a UK store and they were £35.

But i have found these on eBay.com and the seller will ship worldwide.
