Brake adaptor question

rbrstr

I cant find the adaptor i think i need, and i'm wondering if its because i dont actually need one,just maybe a couple of spacers?
I want to fit a 74mm post mount caliper, to a rockshox dart3 post mount fork with a 160mm front disc. It wont bolt straight on, it definately needs something? does anyone know the correct width of spacer or what adaptor?
confused!

Definately yes. when you fit the caliper directly to the fork leg the disc is fouling the caliper, it needs to be spaced aprrox 4mm away,would it be advisable to just use some washers/conical washers?

so what is the caliper.

do you have all the bits?

As yes it will bolt straight on NO adaptors needed if you have all the bits.

Not sure what you mean by "bits"? I have an avid juicy three caliper and two mounting bolts.

Bingo! I have those, and i'm guessing they would space the caliper off by about the 4mm i was looking for. Thanks again

nicklouse

fit them the right way.
