This disc adapter, will it get me killed on a steel Dutch style cargo bike? The bike in question has roller brakes, and I want to sub out the wheel for one with a motor.

If it already has roller brakes, you'll be fine if you use the same pick up for the brake torque reaction as currently.

Thanks Tester. Your answer leads me to another question, which is how I can ascertain the brake torque reaction for this frame. Is it something I can work out mathematically, or do I need to write to the manufacturer?
