Ya so like post mount + adapter - so at least the screws you dick around with aren't the ones going in to your fork.

Or maybe not, I dunno, at least it looks like the caliper is bolted to something rather than directly to the fork.

The front adapter for flat mount works for both 140mm and 160mm by turning it around. But you have to remove it because the bolts for the caliper go in reverse. So no, you dont spare the fork bolt threads...

140mm side up

160mm side

Ah yeah, nice one. Good spot.

Shame they couldn't do flat mount front like flat mount rear, but I guess aeros and structural considerations of the lower fork leg prevented that.

As it stands: that's a fucking mess.
