Jolfa Posted October 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Here we go, very technical drawing Red is the adaptor, blue is where it bolts to forks, green is where caliper bolts to adaptor, pink is the brake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew62 Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) That's not moving the calliper closer though. If anything isn't that moving it further away.... Also if you move the calliper down as opposed to rotate it around the axle (or alternatively bring it in relative to the axle) the disc won't pass through correctly. The whole pad wouldn't touch the disc as only a percentage or angle of the disc would rotate through the newly positioned calliper.

Jolfa Posted October 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 The drawing, as intricate as it may be, may not be quite to scale. Moving the caliper down and angling the adaptor slightly to compensate for rotation as you say, would solve the problem. I'd take a picture of this with the caliper on the forks where it would need to be mounted to make up the difference, but I cannot be arsed But as you can see, nothing about this idea is absurd in the slightest.
