Help putting disc brakes/any better brake on a huffy Nel Lusso

Drum brakes might work. Probably not as good as discs, but better than a coaster brake, and doesn't require mounting anything on the frame since it's all contained in the hub.

Make sure you are using a 203mm disk on the rear and hopefully a 36 tooth sprocket so the caliper will clear everything ok...DAMIEN
Well, I currently have a 36 tooth sprocket mounted to the disc brake mount on the wheel and I'm just using a rear rim brake, which kinda sucks.

I think I'm going to need some kind of adapter for the caliper so it lines up

I bought these calipers in a kit because i couldnt find Rujoi calipers sold separately.


Here are the 203mm rotors i bought for my bike...they come as a 2 pack for 18.99

I'm not sure that caliper adapter will fit on my frame, maybe I'm just not sure how it goes on. The frame only has one mounting hole. Here is a close up pic.

Its not on the frame itself...The axel goes through the hole and holds down with the axel nut...the adapter itself rest against the drop out area of the frame itself...take a look at all four pics of the billet adapter shown on the Amazon website so you can visualize this for yourself...you will see clearly how its designed to work...DAMIEN

Tyler, in your pics you have chain tensioners on both sides. Never seen that b4, why on the right side?
 
I thought one of the deciding issues with disk brakes on the Cranbrook/Nel Lusso was that the front fork couldn't take the torque? To band-aid my Cranbrook's stopping situation, I kept the stock wheels and just added extended reach side-pull brakes. They seem to work okay.
