Product Information
Full details
This lightweight, self-aligning adapter is for cyclists needing to mount a 180mm disc brake caliper to a post-mount fork, especially when dealing with imperfect frame or fork surfaces. Its key benefit is effortless alignment due to its self-compensating design, ensuring optimal brake performance without precise facing. A potential caveat is the specific 180mm rotor size requirement, which may not suit all setups. The adapter is precision laser-cut from durable aluminum and is compatible with most hydraulic and mechanical disc calipers.

Troubleshooting
Caliper does not align correctly
Ensure the adapter is seated properly on the fork's post mounts and that no debris is obstructing the self-aligning mechanism. Verify you are using the correct 180mm rotor size.
Brake noise or rubbing after installation
Slightly loosen caliper bolts, spin the wheel to center the caliper over the rotor, and then retighten bolts evenly. Ensure the rotor is true and not bent.
Adapter bolts feel loose or won't tighten
