Disc mount adapter questions

[cyfa2809]

i thought you could reverse it but the caliper wouldnt sit in the 'ditch' and it would probably stick out too far if it did fit
you need a front is to post but i cant seem to find one in 160mm flavour :?
what size disc will you be using?
to 160mm seems rare (so i read)

if the caliper would go straight onto the marz above, it will be i.s

But you'll need a 180mm rotor.

Why shakey head??

Not going to buy a 180mm rotor and that item is out of stock.

Shakey head for repeated postings of identical (and wrong) adaptors

You can only do it with a 180mm rotor because of the space a suitable adaptor takes up. It's either a new rotor, a new brake or a new fork.

Gotcha. . .

New brake might happen . . . . in a few days.
If that falls through, a new rotor may have to happen (if you can't get IS to Post in 160mm...)
New fork. . .absotively posolutely not. . . .
