I have a 160mm rear disc, 160mm rear disc adapter, is to post mount one yet the caliper is about 1 cm too far away?
Is it normal to need spacers for this application?

I think Avid use cup washers to adjust, so that might be it.I don't do smileys.

How the bracket is now, the arrow points to the front of the bike so following the rotation of the wheel, I thought that was what it was meant to do?
I'll try and find some conical washers, on ebay they want £15 for the avid ones, that's just one bolt and 4 washers.0 -

Not sure, you'll find out when you get the washers.0 -
They are the same as the washers used on V brakes AFAIK. Ten a penny.I don't do smileys.
