      you need to measure the distance between the two screw holes, it should be 34mm for direct mount disc brake.

      # Flat Mount MTB

      April 27, 2018 by [pverdone](https://www.peterverdone.com/author/pverdone/)

      What’s old is new again. Circa 1997. The Hayes 22mm caliper mount. Believe it or not, this is what changed mountain bike braking forever and truly brought disc brakes to every day mountain bikes. Back in ’97 or ’98, I bought a bike with these brakes on it. I was the first in my crew to do so. Very shortly after, we did a big rain ride. I got to the bottom of a long and rowdy trail, well ahead of everyone else, feeling good and on a solid bike. Then, after a while, they showed up with their v-brakes; hands sore, brake pads roached and ground down, They were suddenly slow. Rim brakes were [#over](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlGqN3AKOsA)

      If you are interested in building this bike with disc brakes, there are a couple of adapters out there you could use to convert this old 22mm Hayes mount to modern 34mm flat mount.

      There’s one on thingiverse that you should be able to find by searching some combination of “Hayes 22mm” and “flat mount”

      I recently did this same thing and didn’t love the thingiverse one, so I modified it a little to fit my bike better (Klein attitude). If you’re interested I can upload that part.

      Wow thanks for sharing this first time I’ve seen this type of mount and glad to add this info to my brain that might never be needed but it’s bike nerdy and I’m here for it!

      A few years ago I stumbled across a guy in Canada making all sorts of flatmount adapters and I think they had Hayes 22.
      I don’t recall the name but it was something that made a funny acronym

      If you need an adapter, let me know. I have a couple hundred ods and sods adapters. I might have the one you need.
