anyone know if a shimano IM70 front roller brake (as fitted to
ridgeback nemesis et al) can be converted readily to a conventional
mechanical disk brake? Are the fork mounts compatible, and could I
retain the standard brake lever? Would it be easiest to replace the
hub/rebuild the wheel at my LBS and then fit the rest myself?
