Ben Davies Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 hi guys, been away for a few years now but started riding again.. basicly i have an avid juicy 3 front disc with a caliper that bolts on directly to the back of my forks (im running suspension) (it screws directly into the back of the leg rather than your standard mounts where you use washers etc on the side) ...please see link http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?PartnerID=79&ModelID=22185 call me a dummy but is this easy to get the caliper onto standard mouted forks like echo/zoo/fattys etc??? i have been out the scene for a while so really confused! ...just had another look at the picture and those 2 holes at the bottom of the caliper -do they fit onto standard mounts???? any help is much appreciated!

Yeah, it bolts onto standard IS mounts through those holes that are empty in the image. Like so..... The avids (and any other disc using that design) are basically just the caliper with an adapter to fit your forks, there's an adapter for any fork mount for that brake so it will fit no matter what you've got so long as you have the right adapter mount. You don't need the washers like other brakes because you loosen the two bolts that clamp the calliper to the adapter and then pull the brake. This centralises the calliper to your rotor and then you just tighten it up and release the lever, negating the need for washers. Simples! The performance from that particular brake on the other hand.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
