If they fit up to the hubs and you can find discs to suit then thats the main obstacle over, the rest is easy

Anything is possible with the correct brackets etc. You wouldn't be the first to do it

Yes, it's fairly tricky. My discs are 330mm and the conversion is awesome, but it was alot of work getting it there.

I would say that the only way to get brakes like that to work is to get someone who knows what they are doing, but of course that will cost. Martin Hadland is the first person that springs to mind.

I think if I did it again, I would go for the ST170 conversion.
