Disc caliper 140 / 160 question
Hi
I have a Boardman SLR signature disc frame and a set of wheels with 160 rotors.
I bought some TRP Spyre SLC post mount calipers... but they don't fit.
The bike has post mounts with the correct hole spacing, but I can't get the caliper close enough to mount without it fouling on the disc rotor. I presume the frame is designed for use with 140 rotors??
I thought it would be easy enough to get some adaptors / or a spacer that moves the mount a bit further away from the frame... but I can't figure out what I need, there are a myriad of options but nothing simply described as a 140 to 160 post mount adaptor.
What do I need please?

Could you just swap to 140 rotors.0

It's easier to find them marketed as 160-180mm, like this one: https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/shi ... -prod13747
A 20mm adaptor is a 20mm adaptor, it doesn't know or care whether you're using it to go from 140 to 160 or 160 to 180. I ran those adaptors on my old Planet X to do the same thing of spacing the 140mm mount to fit a 160mm disc.0
