Adapter Compatibility

The Box Disc Brake Adapter is NOT compatible with all frames, and purchase/installation requires special attention to your frame’s dropouts for compatibility. We do not recommend composite frames for this adapter.

There are two different versions of the Box Disc Brake Adapter.

1. Standard 10mm Dropouts - Standard dropout configuration, dropout must be between 6-8mm thick, and have a flat inside face. Found on many frames as this is a common standard,

1. Sliding Plate Dropout - Found on many Thrill, Haro, DK and Stay Strong aluminum frames

Both variations of the adapter come standard with two adapter rings which makes the adapter compatible with 3 different 10mm hubs only. Will not fit hubs with 15/20 or step down axles. We recommend using the Box Three Pro Disc hub as it provides the best compatibility with our adapter. Some setups with Stealth and Onyx hubs may require the dropouts spread for proper adapter fitment.

1. Box Three Pro Disc (Needs NO adapter ring).
2. Onyx 10mm Disc (Requires O-Spec adapter ring).
3. Stealth 10mm Disc (Requires S-Spec adapter ring).
