Custom postmount to flatmount adapter :)
I should just have bought a rs785 caliper instead (same piston size and hose fitting)
but now I have matching hylex lever -> shimano flatmount caliper front and rear. Only one type of brake pad for the bike.
I think the 10% mechanical advantage from using larger pistons gives a great brake feel. Going from Hylex/shimano old style 21mm to new shimano 22mm without changing the lever.
The rear brake has worked really well so I am hoping for the same performance from the front one.
