    My first bike build was all done with your videos mate. Thank you so very much. Always crystal clear and most importantly explaining the torque settings every time. Your video capturing technique is simple and always cover the most important stuff your doing. Really appreciate you videos. I found this new hobby.

    Nicely explained, cheers!! By the way, I had to install the thick washers -the ones that came with the adapter - between the adapter and the caliper, disc would rub the top part of the caliper without the washers in there.

    Hi there. Thank You for sharing an useful how to do guide on this adapter. However, I have a question: those 2 silver washers that go with 2 longer screws into the frame brake mount; do those washers need to go all the way in inside the frame or just slightly touch the outside of mount area while keeping both screws snug ?

  • @jonathanb8336
    @jonathanb8336 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Cheers for the video, I’m doing the reverse & going from 160 to 140 so hopefully all the bolts fit & there’s enough movement in the the hydraulic pipe to allow me to do this👍

    • @jonathanb8336
      @jonathanb8336 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@ulop1599 hi, yes the original bolts worked fine. They bolt the adapter plate to the chain stay in the 160mm disc format, when you reduce to 140mm the bolts go through the chain stay directly into the calliper as you no longer require the adapter plate👍

    Tried.the 160 then.went back to 140. I'd consider going to 160 again.for bike touring in the hills with extra weight.because you do get a boost to the braking.

    Hi, great video as usual, I was going to put some Shimano deore brakes onto a CX bike for my son as he can't cope with drop down bars, I assume the process would be the same when putting them onto a flat mount frame and forks or is there a special adapter required? Many thanks!

      Kenneth you can keep the flat mount calipers and just change the levers! The flat mount calipers will work fine with flat bar mtb brake levers!

    I lose my small safety clip at rear caliper and no idea where to buy or get one of those...is it alright to run without that small safety clip?
    I saw on the caliper there is little hole to place that little safety clip...the hole is go through to the other side of caliper and looks like does nothing to hold...
    Anyone have any idea?

    I switched to 160mm and what a mistake! The brakes are entirely to easy to lock up. I weigh 150 so maybe a heavy guy would find them fine. I have decades of experience road racing and riding, so it is not a lack of skill.
