Disc brakes and cx frames
So what are folks doing to accommodate disc brakes on their cx frames... Specifically I am curious about the following;
1) in terms of the rear disc mount, do folks use heavier duty chain stays? Seat stays? Add a brace at the rear dropout tying the chain stay and seat stay together (I have used the Paragon mounts that have the disc tab intregrated into the dropout.... And have skipped using the brace. Curious about thoughts on this - seems to work fine on my bike)?
2) switching to the front end, are folks building lugged forks with disc tabs? I had talked with the guys at Nova during the handbuilt bike show and they mentioned a fork blade that they thought would work. Curious about thoughts on this?
3) do folks use different non-drive side tubes (fork blade, chain stay, seat stay) vs. drive side to address added stress imposed by disc brakes?
Thanks for advice.
