You're all speaking a foreign language aren't you? Don't understand a bluddy word of it :frog:

Ok, I've got a nice 05 999R sat here, Brembo Radials with thumb shifter, Ohlins R & T forks, or Marzocchi 50's as a fork choice , Ohlins rear shock with high and low speed damping , its sorta like that, nice trick, very expensive bling parts on a handmade frame, I'm sure any Ducati owner understands that one :)

I have only just seen the post so I'm not sure if you have it sorted.

I had the same thing on my Mount Vision - fitted XTR skewers and the problem solved.

Did you use the Hope disk adapter though? Standard skewers are not long enough so mine has a special end supplied by hope which is causing the problem.

No - no disk adapters.

Why not take it to your local frame builder, have a couple of disk mounts brazed on the frame and a bit of paint? Probably less than £100 in total - job done - problem sorted.

Metal matrix can't be welded easily, I've got no idea whether its even possible. If it is I'd think it'll need reheat treating, the seatstay takes a lot of braking force with discs.

Thats what i'd like to do but its a special aluminium frame that you cannot easily weld things to.

if i remember tomorrow I'll email a contact at the company that made those frames and ask what welding treatment is needed.

Cheers, that would be helpful. Who do you work for then?
