Concussion Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Can I use, will it be safe to use a rear 185 avid adaptor (and rotor) on the front of my Onza? Here are a few pics to show what I mean.....!I had to put it on back to front/upside down, but it seems ok/online...just need to put the 185 rotor on and give it a try!Just wondering if you guys think its ok to do this (before I go and dismantle my other bike!)REAR SETUP ON MY DIRT BIKEFRONT 165 OLD SETUP185 ADAPTOR FITTED WITHOUT ROTORThat all make sense?

Concussion Posted May 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Great....and with a bit of luck I can do the reverse to my dirt bike it came off!Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concussion Posted May 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Well here what I got....everything seems to fit but I'm still a little worried considering the amount of spacers I had to thow in there!Would you leave it or just buy a proper adaptor?Oh and I fooked the back end of my Rhythm up......think I'll order the adaptor and a new funky rotor for me b`day!Cheers!

tank_rider Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 if you run the adaptor the correct way round you should be able to run a 203 disc with it. I've got a 203 on my avid (using a +40 adaptor) and its a beast. Plenty of power and loads of modulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concussion Posted May 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 That sounds the dogs.....no worries about this type of set-up then.Care to post a picture of that set-up...please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMunn Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 You usually need front a rear specific disc adaptors for these jobbies, hense the spacers and the rear one not fitting. Personally I would say get a pair of new adaptors, altho I can see why you've done it because for what they are they are quite expensive.

dave33 Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 get the front adaptor think they are only £7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onza Kieron Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 I would just leave the spacers in, just wait till you see mine, 160 caliper and adaapter then spaced out to fit a 203 rotor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
