Not a tool as such but does anyone have a Post Mount to IS adaptor for a front disc brake in 180mm? I bought a 160mm a while ago and went to fit it today and it's too short. Arse.
Also, the instructions for the Avid rotor say to use a torque wrench. Is this really necessary and if so does anyone have one I could borrow/use please?

Are you sure it doesn't say a 'torx' key/wrench rather than 'torque wrench' - Avid rotors us t25 torx head bolts to attach to the hub.

Rotors need to be tight, but if you use threadlocked bolts, then bite plus half a turn is about right.

That's enough torque on the matter.

Yes, it was a Torx T25 I needed. I'm sure BN would have corrected me as he's not new to(n) this disc brake game.
