105 hyd levers and post mount callipers?

Hello,
I’ve just bought a second hand cyclo cross frameset and am interested in putting the new Shimano 105 7020 hydraulic groupset on it.
I’m going to use it as a road/gravel bike as well so the compact chainset will be ideal.
The only issue is that my frame has post mount fittings for the disc callipers as opposed to the flat mount 105.
Does anybody know of any post mount disc callipers that will work with the 105 7020 hyd levers?
Many thanks,

Someone on another thread pointed these out recently - https://www.assolutions.ca/product-category/adapters/
So you can potentially use flat mount calipers on your post mount frame, assuming you meet the clearance requirements.
Otherwise the Hope RX4 is an option (although I read someone a little while ago saying they had corrosion problems with theirs) or more likely pretty much any Shimano post mount will also work - eg these Deore units - https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/shi ... prod161610 - although you might want to do your research to see which ones use the same types of hose (or if some kind of adapter is required).
Certainly I've never read anything to indicate a lack of cross compatibility with other Shimano calipers, and the above Deore is a pretty cheap one to have a test run with.0 -
Get a set of Clark’s m2 brakes for 35 Quid, work better than the shimano 785 calipers which are prone to leaking, they use the same pads as well.0

I just fitted some Deore calipers at twenty quid each to my winter bike when I upgraded it to the new 105. Works perfectly.

Thanks very much for all the advice and ideas.
I think I’ll go for the deore callipers and see how it goes.
Looks like they need SM-BH90-SS brake hose. I’ve not done this before so other than mineral oil and the hose is there anything else I need to connect the 105 7020 levers to the deore callipers?
Thanks again0 -
I’m sure I just fitted the brake hose that came with my 105 groupset to the Deore calipers, but can’t quite remember!
