Shimano ST-RS505 hydraulic disc & Merida Ride Disc

comsense

What adaptors would I need t in order to install Shimano ST-RS505 hydraulic disc calipers on the Merida Ride disc 5000?
I believe they are flat mount so I will need adaptors for post mount frame?
thanks

Just had a quick google and looks like you can buy the shimano brakes in post mount or flat mount configuration - so assuming you haven't bought them yet, just buy the post mount?

Thanks for that dgunthor.

I was looking here https://www.merlincycles.com/shimano-st ... 89846.html and there isn't mention of either mount but thanks to you at least I know a bit more now. As you can see Merlin price is significantly lower - I'm thinking something is wrong with it now.

No worries, just looked on merlin and it mentions flat mount in the small print.

Pro bike kit have post mount for £320
