If I got the train over to Glasgae, how much do you reckon I would have to pay you to pop a disc tab on the back of my crusty old MTB? Just been quoted £60 which is more than the frame really deserves...
frankenbike-
Hmm, if I said half that but you have to bear in mind I’m still very much learning as I go?
Do you have the mount and any way to hold it in position?
When I put the mount on the back of my Hummus I just used a wheel and clamped the caliper and mount to the rotor, tacked it then removed the wheel. Could probably do similar for brazing but if you had it a bare hub and rotor might be better given that there’d be a bit more heat kicking around?
Have you spoken to Andy Armour and Colin Woof as they are over in Edinburgh.

This kit,

Then spent about the same again on a 13kg Propane and a Hobbyweld Oxygen. Of course refilling them will be much cheaper.
I’ve also bought a pile of brazing rods - £20 or so, a sparky lighter doodah - £5, a tub of flux - £10, some shade 3 glasses coz the goggles the kit comes with are a bit crap - £10.
I also spent a couple hundred on practice tubes and lugs but that’s up to you...
