Hi, just sold my brakes, might possibly be the most stupidest question on this site but i have 4 fastening bolts that fit through my adaptors to the bike, 2 on front and 2 on rear.

Just wondering are these bolts for the brakes or the adaptors as i don't know if i should include them or not.

First time upgrading brakes btw.

    I don't think I've ever got bolts with brakes.

    If you buy new Shimano adaptors they come with bolts (Just checked an un-opened pack which I have)

    Calliper to adapter or to frame/forks or adapter to frame /forks bolts are all M6. There needs to about 12mm of engaging thread so a bit of common sense determines if the bolt is the correct length.
