    If given the choice on new forks it would be IS over PM. Really don't like the PM design.

    But I like the PM brake caliper design as it works well with the IS to PM adapters. I am not keen on brakes that use IS mounts.

    why put a thread in an expensive part that if damaged makes the bike useless.

    Post mount rear brake mounts sorry no... IS and an adaptor to Post is the best and safest but may have a few grams weight disadvantage.

    Exactly ! By the sounds of things from this post, everyone prefers IS then PM....but then we've been forced down the PM route....dam companies ggggrrrrrr !

    On my front mech M770 - the screw fixing is a square nut that contains the thread - this sheered and made the thread useless. I managed to get the nut out by gouging the metal away so it popped out and replaced with an old mechs nut.

    Post mount would not be half as bad, if you could just slot a nut into the post?

    I know this doesn't solve the OP's problem, but it would go some way to making the best of post mount.
