Disc Brake Mounting Problem

Last fall I purchased a Schwinn Sierra GSD frameset from Nashbar. I am
building a comfort/town bike for myself with spare parts. I tried to
mount avid disc bakes but the barrel adjuster is directly over the
chain stay making cable routing appear impossible. The caliper
mounts are inside the rear triangle (dont know name for this mounting
system). Is there an adapter to make this work or are there disc
calipers with more offset to clear the chainstays. The bike came with
F&R discs so they must mount somehow. Thanks in advance

I don't know whether it will help but Park tools has an article about
Avid brakes at
http://www.parktool.com/blog/repair-...isc-adjustment

Might be of interest.
