Cheers!
I know - they'd probably look nice & neat on an integrated mount without any adapters but this is defo not the most elegant solution! The rotors came with the wheels so I decided to work with them & see if they were any good before swapping things round - they should be fine in theory as i'm not overly heavy & this bike won't see any epic mountain descents.
Popped the pads out there to check & they're looking a bit glazed, the rotors were a bit scored too so that won't have helped either - everything's now been given a good rub down with wet & dry so hopefully there'll be some front end braking on the way home as i'm planning to leave work early & turn an 18 mile commute into about 30 to give this a bit more of a test run.
@hoops - reassuring, cheers - in retrospect I should have clicked when the rear was more powerful than the front...
