@@ekims_echoes yes! I find them pretty hard, but I bet I just need to do more. I have the Anvil ISO jigs. So I can and will add ISO tabs. I haven't figured out anybody the other new standards for disk mounts yet but probably will eventually. So far no one's ever asked for anything but ISO tabs. They sure seem a lot more versatile than post or flat mount. I tend to not chaise trends and see what ends up work best and sticking around. That being said rear disk tabs seem to work pretty well for lots of older frames, but front disk brakes added to forks often bend the fork or crack the blade! So I tend to shy away from that and talk people into a new fork made for disk brakes.
@@starmichaelbuilds I'll probably reach out via email. I have a 1992 Giant that I've owned since it was new and keep considering having tabs added to the rear. It's actually a 1 1/8" steerer tube so it would be easiest to just replace the fork anyway.
@@ekims_echoes yes I've done a few of those for people! I remember a huge one I did for a guy back in the Norther Cycles days. I'm sure there's still pics on my Instagram. We did a Surly fork. Rear disk tab and some other stuff. A new blue powder coat and a full build! It was cool.
Congrats on the shop and new website. What kind of custom work on bikes do/will you do? Disc brake conversions perhaps?

@@starmichaelbuilds I'm scrolling through your Instagram now trying to find it. That sounds rad.
Great news. Sorry I’m a bit behind on your videos.
@@clarkedevin no worries I sure put out a lot of them going through parts!
