There are three in existence that I know of - A to Z Components, Woodman Components, and Shimano.
They almost invariably DON'T WORK if your 22mm mount is on the CHAINSTAY. There isn't enough room for the adapter and the caliper to fit under the seatstay. With the possible exception of a Lawwil design like an old Tomac or Yeti/Schwinn.
If it's on your seatstay, or there's no other obstructions, it'll work fine.
I appreciate the help on this one. Mine is located on the chainstay as its on a Klein Mantra frame I am currently borrowing. It is from the days of the uncertainty from frame manufacturers on which bolt pattern to use. I will take a look at the pic and the frame to see if things will work.

bummer.

Thanks for the heads up. It sux that it won't work, but it would have sucked even more if had ordered all those brackets and the caliper. I really appreciate it.
on the other hand you know hayes is coming out with a cheap and all-metal hydro brake for 2003, if they make it in 22mm caliper or at least compatible so you can just buy a caliper half, then that should be your low cash ticket to disks
