Hi
I have inherited a Trek 8900 SL superlight frame which I suspect is
five or six years old. On the left hand chainstay their is flat
section near the end which is about an inch and a half long with two
small tapped holes. Could you tell me what the holes are for.I thought
they might be for disc brakes

Thanks Mate
I feel such a fool now but I ride with V brakes and have never really
considered disc technology at all.
Ironically 10 minutes after posting I found some info about Hayes
mount on a web site. Am I right in thinking that you either put an
adaptor into the tapped holes which will allow any disc brake to be
used or is there a special disc brake that is compatible with this
type of mount

Yes, there are _lots_ of formats for frame/disc caliper/adapter.

The 8900SL used to come with Hayes OEM, but any disc brake should work (51mm
IS). I knew people who had Maguras and Hopes on them. Anyway, this was
Trek's top of the line race xc aluminum HT frame. Should be a great ride
after built up.
