I bought a RockShox Paragon RL "Disc brake" compatible fork from eBay. Everything on the website suggests there is only one model. Even when I type in the serial number, it shows that it's rim brake only, then the disc brake mount type, minimum and maximum rotor size. No wonder it's confusing, so I don't even totally blame the seller.
Unfortunately, I was sent a rim brake version, and the seller is unwilling to help, and I'm past my 60 day return limit.
eBay can't help
RockShox can't help
In other words, I just wasted $400 AUD (About $300 USD).
That's it for me, no SRAM gear, no Zipp Wheels, no RockShox forks. End of the relationship as far as I'm concerned...
So, now I'm stuck with it. I also bought some carbon wheels with no brake surface to go with it, so staying with rim brakes isn't really an option.
What are my options?
There seem to be some pretty dodgy looking "Universal" adaptor kits.
I don't know what half these holes are for, but I'm not going to use them, so I could possibly prototype a custom adaptor between these two points, then CNC machine it up? Probably cheaper to get a whole new fork...
Any ideas?
