Do rotor and mounting bolts come with Brake Sets?

weegt

Hi there...sorry if this sounds a bit wet to some! I am building my first MTB on an Inbred frame. I managed to source some Formula Oro K18 brakes from CRC for a really good price. These turned up today, but seem to be sans any caliper mounting bolts or rotor bolts.

I guess that perhaps this is how it rolls with higher end equipment...with many people preferring to source their own. I see they aren't much to buy separate, but as they were CRC (not manufacturer) boxed, I just wanted to check that I haven't been duped out of any fitting kit etc. There were no instructions/documentation either which struck me as slightly odd.

All advice greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

Lots of CRC stuff is OEM so no boxes etc, which is why it's cheap. Rotor bolts are sold seperately, don't know about caliper bolts.

a proper set of Formula brakes come with all bolts and 2 kits of parts to allow you to shorten the hoses if needed.

Thanks all. I will drop them a line and see what they say.

Quad brakes also come with everything; bled system, rotor, bolts, bracket and shortening kit.

I think this is the norm for most brands apart from Shimano who sell the caliper/lever together, but everyhting else seperate...

I got exactly the same brakes from CRC but I got everything I needed to fit them, well except for tools. I got the rotors, levers and calipers, adaptors (I didn't use the front one as i've got a PM fork), adaptor bolts, caliper mounting bolts and rotor bolts. I didn't get any instructions but who really needs them?

I bought an XT rotor from CRC last month and that came with the six bolts required to fit it.
