Herbertlemon102 Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 My shimano front adapter for a 203 works spot on as a 180'rear, everything lines up perfectly and the brake is a beast. Saves me buying a new adapter' 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Strictly speaking it's 1.5mm too high, but yep, on any IS mount frame a front adaptor will work on the rear with a 20mm smaller rotor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 This is standard, rear IS mounts are 20mm smaller disk than the front For information a 185 avid bb7 IS to PM adaptor when turned upside down will fit a 180 hope rotor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 In theory no, the slots should only cater for chain stretch, but given that most frames with slotted tabs are, erm, not very well thought out, you might be able to do that! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 I've said it a thousand times, but using a skinny mount like that on a trials bike, especially with a Saint is just asking for trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 If you're going to roll the dice, just try and avoid landing heavily backwards with your brake on as that seems to stress mounts quite a bit (so if you try and back wheel something, have your weight too far back and hop off backwards, don't land with your brake locked and slam down on your back wheel).

FamilyBiker Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 this info is as ridiculous as the info about a rear160mm adapter that can be used as a front 180 one,no way^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
