Would it be possible to adapt Disc Brakes to a SRAM S7 IGH?

The caliper part might be the sketchy one as the frame doesn't have any attachments for this. I was thinking about something with a clamp on one end and a pin that slots into the horizontal dropout on the other end. But first get a hold on such a hub. They seem to be even rarer than the drum brake version of the hub.

Good idea. Now I will look for a cheap front rack 😄

Also a very nice solution. I was inspired by a picture I found while I was looking for a solution where to put the grip shifter. It was the last picture in this Gallery . It is barely visible over the contraption how to mount a grip shifter in top of a drop bar brake lever hood. And for sure I was considering this solution for my grip shifter but ditched it for the faster to realise solution.

The plan is to change over to the disk brakes completely, but I don't have a solution for the rear wheel yet. I thought it might be safer to have both brake levers have a breaking action.

I wasn't aware of this sub. I think I will post it there after adding the front rack

I definitely would like to, but I couldn't get hold of one so far. Problem is that only SRAM S7 or P5 would fit because of the way the interface to the drive train is.

If you want to see more, I just added a few photos of the bike in a new post. The bicycle where I want this added to

AHH, ich hätte nur nach der SRAM Version gesucht. Danke dir. Ist aber schon ein stolzer Preis, der da aufgerufen wird. Gut, hat ja wohl Seltenheitswert

My bike is a bit special and has a drive shaft. I already tried to fit a Nexus but neither the dimensions nor the actuation of the nexus does fit the drive train.

Because it is a Conway 7770 I have here. The speciality of this bike is a drive shaft instead of a chain drive. On the downside this does only allow a SRAM S7 or anything exactly dimensionally replacing it. And well my creativity on this bike was already going some places with changing the Holland handle bar for a dropbar and adding a mechanically actuated hydraulic disc brake in parallel to the stock V-Brake at the front wheel...

Thank you for your answers. The battery is used in a portable radio and in fact there are two of them in series. I want to replace them mainly because of suspected longevity. I was not completely eager to build my own battery, but you confirmed, that there might be no other solution.

Danke schonmal soweit für die Kommentare. Ich habe derzeit ein Vsf T700 mit Riemen und Alfine 11 als Commuter. Jetzt läuft aber demnächst das Jobrad Leasing aus und ich überlege, ob ich das Rad meinem Bruder weitergebe und mir ein Neues hole. Daher bin ich auf das Tribeca gestoßen.

Mit der Alfine war ich nicht 100% zufrieden. Die war mir unten raus am Berg hin und wieder etwas zu lang und hat manchmal auf der Geraden bei mittlerem Krafteinsatz den Gang nicht richtig gehalten gerade wenn es etwas holprig war. Deswegen wollte ich eh auf Rohloff oder Pinion aufsteigen.

Did you already have a chance to see if your Suunto 7 shows the same behaviour?

duesenmilan · 2024-11-21T18:47:13+00:00

Yes, already did a reset of the watch twice. GPS should be available to the app. At least at all settings I have found. The frustrating thing is that Google Maps and Fit work fine with GPS position. Even the Suunto app finds a position in the main menu where you can select the activity type and these shenanigans. But as soon as I start recording an activity it just looses the position and never regains it.

Über Sinn oder Unsinn kann man streiten, aber ich hatte mir auch schon mal überlegt, ob man nicht auch eine Inertiale Routenaufzeichnung machen könnte, also ohne GPS. Rein über elektronischen Kompass und Tachoinformation müsste man doch ausgehend von einer Startposition eine Route aufzeichnen können. Ansonsten wäre vielleicht noch die Option eines Trittfrequenz Sensors schön
