Ti frame repair help needed
Quote | Reply
I have a 12 year old Moots titanium frame and I want to add rear mount disc brake tabs. Moots no longer offers this service. Do you know of a reputable, US-based, titanium frame company that can do this?
TIA!

What is the rear dropout spacing on your frame?

TiCycles based in Oregon.

Dave Levy (the owner) actually did some of the repair work for Moots. He would be the go-to for any Ti work

If you're unable to get tabs welded on there is a more agricultural 'adaptor' approach from A2Z for about £25.

The 2nd link shows it installed !)- it sandwiches the frame dropout. (Not sure how that would be if the dropouts are 'cowled' rather than flat)

I've an old rim braked Kona hardtail frame and have one of these adaptors. Obvs voids any warranty. But on a 20+ year old frame its not a big risk for me.

2nd vote for Dave at TiCycles. I don't think it's actually possible to find someone with more experience doing this particular modification.
