So I accidentally bought a Kinetics brompton disc fork from ebay the other week...
I've ordered a Brompton angle drilled 28h rim, a bunch of spokes and a novatec 28h d791 disc hub.
I've already got an acor hybrid hydro/cable caliper (same as juin tech) and a spare 160mm rotor.
I will report back when everything's turned up and I've built myself a Brompton disc wheel...
Also, someone here is from SJS, aren't they? The black angle-drilled rim has the ERD incorrectly listed as 238mm rather than 328mm. Almost caught me out when ordering spokes!
PS - if anyone has bleed instructions for one of those calipers or knows what bleed kit I need, that'd be handy, as I think it's seen better days and might need new pistons (which I have in a box somewhere).
PPS - I bought a set of 175mm dura ace 130bcd cranks and fitted those with an mtb ht2 BB and a few mm of drive side spacers. Now have dura ace drive side and stages PM on the left :)
