What adaptor?

kingie3105

Hi Guys,
I have got a set of Shimano SLX disc brakes.
I have got a frame with an IS disc brake mount.
I guess you know what question comes next: what adaptor should I use?
Cheers

IS to Post.

From the drop down. PM to IS R+ whatever size your rotor is. (Presuming you're talking about the rear.)

Loads out there. If the brake does not actually come with one.

But you also need to know what size discs you are using as that has a small effect on the adaptor needed.

Look on CRC or superstar or whoever your favourite web seller is.

Or if you want Shimano, which at the price I would, again rear post to IS, whatever rotor size.

Yeah it is a rear one I'mm looking for.
I wasn't sure which one to get, but i have got the superstar one..
Next question is how do I mount it? Because the mounts on my frame aren't threaded...

cooldad

The adaptor is.

kingie3105

So the screw goes into the frame through the hole and into the thread in the adaptor?

cooldad

Yep

kingie3105

What adaptor would I use for the front?

cooldad

What mounts are on the forks?

kingie3105

I'm not sure... They're rockshox reckon if that helps?

cooldad

Nope I have IS Recons, newer are post.



But probably post to post + whatever you front rotor is.

Same links as before.

Oh okay, cheers cooldad.. I'll have to wait till I get them then.. If they're post mount what's the rotor size without an adaptor?

nicklouse

it depends on the fork. normal are 6" post mounts.
