SpcializedP3 + Giant Rainier

[nathan]

This is my 2000 model P3 with various bits and peices.

Also my Giant Rainier after a big prang at lefty(right at the end of the track after the steep stepdown) bars just cliped a tree on the left of the track, leaving the forks broken and me mangled in the bike.

very nice p.3, love that bash gaurd

 

[Adi]

Nice P.3!

I'm hoping to get my P.2 [03] around June, hopefully thatll be my first ever decent bike

I like your Ranier's forks! Nice job !

 

[andrew]

man you mangled that mxc. have you ever thought about sticking those discs and hubs on the p3? just curious

 

[Mason]

Nice bikes man, by the way, what kind of chain guide is that on the P3?

 

[nathan]

Thats a home made chain guide on the P3. I bought it 2nd hand so i dont know who made it, but it works fine.

With putting discs on it well the frame doesnt have the mounts on the back to bolt on the caliper. Spose i could put em on the front cause the forks have mounts and just swap the hubs over. Any ideas about the back. Is their any attachment you can get to make a mount on the back. Thanks dudes.

Wouldnt be surprised if Lindsay could make you up something nathan

Won't hurt to ask

 

[phsyco Miko]

you can buy attachments for disk brake calipers but i dont know how much or strong they are.

GOOD JOB ON THE FORKS

 

[lindsay]

Those forks look good. At least you decided to do a good job.

There's not much i can do if you don't have a rear disc mount. It's possible but way to complicated for me to do. Companies do make rear disc mounts that that run off the rear brake boss but i've heard many reports of them snapping and they're expensive.

The only thing i can suggest is to just run a set decent v brakes like avids on the back and a disk on the front.

 

[nathan]

Ok then that sounds like the best way to go about it. Thanks guys.

i think atomlab does, but be prepared to fork out a lot

 

[Unimployed]

well put a disk on the front and run a magura hydro rim brake on tthe back

 

[Jordy]

isnt there 2 little holes in the frame where a disc mount could be fitted ? on my mates p.3 of the same year model it has some little holes that look like you could and its the same setup as the avanti moto comps where you could fit one
