Hey Weenies,
Ok, so I have a Giant TCR SLR frameset hanging around since I jettisoned it for parts and ended up getting myself a Caad12 in any case to match my SSEvo. The Giant is still a great frame (stupidly light for alu in it's size and very stiff in the BB).
I'm thinking of smacking on a disc fork (cheapo ebay) on this thing and running a disc front and normal caliper rear for bad weather, etc. Is this a ridiculously stupid idea to run a different kind of brake front and back?
Frankenbike build, is this a bad idea?

Will work fine if you can find a fork

Running a Giant Defy fork up front with TRP HyRd caliper and it works perfectly.
Email me if you're interested in it as am going to be selling the fork, caliper and mount in the next few weeks.
Cool! only problem is that the TCR SLR is 1 1/2-1 1/8 not 1 1/4 like I'm pretty sure the Defy is, but good to hear you've done it w/out issue. Didn't think to use the HyRd, prob cheaper...
