• Hard to tell from the photos, but are you trying to use a post-mount caliper on a flat mount frame with an adaptor, thus would solve all problems buy purchasing a new caliper...?

  • Er yes- that’s basically it.
    The main reason for my stubbornness is that I got a good deal on the Hy/Rd brakes and had the 160mm post mount adaptors in my parts bin
    I went for flat mount on the frame/forks for futureproofing …

  • Ahhh, makes sense. I saw the mechanical levers but didn't register that the calipers were Hy/Rd.

    I've run mechanical flat mount spyres with sram levers and they've been decent enough. They're also not too expensive.

  • Future proof but not present proof... Looking great though, I wasn't sure about the colour initially but it looks loads better built up for some reason.
