postmount to flatmount adapter
Wtf! More pics/details please, I need this. Oh all right - "need", really.
russmeyer-
I did it from this sketch in illustrator, but took measurements in the program as I went along so maybe not that great a help...
I used a block of 1/2inch (12.7mm) 6082 aluminium.
Ive added a red arrow for the critical spot, not all forks have much room here.
I can give more details if you need it
There are flat mount plans earlier in the thread. I used them as well.
I could also draw up a real plan if time permits.

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.
