• I’ve somehow ended up in a disc brake compatibility fever dream, and wanted to see how others would approach…

    I’ve:

    • an IS mount older CdF I want to build up for touring
    • a post mount Ritchey Swiss Cross with older sram rival group/brakes that I want to rebuild with shimano
    • a complete Ultegra group with BR-R8070 brakes (and bh-90 hose)

    I think my best bet is:

    • put the BR-R8070 on the Ritchey with some post to flat adaptors (and look out for GRX derailleur and whatever 11 speed levers)
    • buy some SLX BR-M7100 on the CdF with IS to post adapter (and work out what I need to make these work with bh90 - hose is long enough already)

    Or

    By some second hand hope rx4 as they are pretty

    Or

    Buy a canyon

    Am I missing a more sensible option (apart from buy a more modern frame...)?

  • Buy two sets of straight hose (non-banjo), post-mount callipers and ditch the flat mount ones.

  • This seems wise - is there a straight post mount shimano 11 speed compatible brake though? That’s why I thought I needed SLX or similar from googling.

    But I guess like these?
