Two Kogas (Hakuna Miyata)

Stick!

Someone else on here did a disc brake conversion of a terraliner I think, can’t remember who though, but it looked great.

You might be able to dent the chainstays for more clearance too?

Do you have pics of the current setup of the terra runner?

Honestly, I've come to the conclusion that generally* it's easier to keep stuff relatively period rather than fucking about trying to get stuff to work.

Let the Terra Runner be what it is, and get something new that'll accept new stuff.

*the obvious exception being the golden age of the road standards

This is it 4 years ago, exactly the same now except no Brooks saddle and 2.25" Maxxis Ikons instead of Duremes. And it is a lot more dirty now. Normally runs with cargo cages on the forks and a saddle bag, bar bag, frame bag.

That's lovely! If it were mine, I don't think I'd be chopping that up to be fair. Or if you do want tweaks, just small changes like removing the canti cable hanger, a better seat post clamp, or creating a bit of extra tyre clearance and a new coat of paint?

Straight to FBNPNA >>>

All I want to do is put a disc tab on the back, would put one on the fork too but not sure it would be up to it. So will replace the fork with something 26 disc with braze-on mounts for cages.
Mayyyybe would try to crimp the stays for a little extra tyre clearance.
If you look back to pg.1 it has already had both seat and chainstays replaced by Geoff Roberts, otherwise it would still have a U Brake on the rear...

Doh, sorry, of course! The koga forks from that era always seem pretty heavy (at least, they are on my traveller), so some new forks wouldn’t be a bad shout if you’re keeping v brakes. Maybe they’re strong enough anyway for discs though?

That paint is great though, would you be able to find someone able to replicate it?

here it is in Wales.

The paint shouldn't be damaged. The stays are all already hammerited black and I shouldn't be touching the main triangle. The forks are the only place it would be gone.
