Are all ‘*IS rear to PM (160mm)*’ adaptors the same? Or do they vary a little between brands?
I was using TRP adaptors (the ones that came with the Spykes) on the Hog with Shimano M6100 hydro calipers and the pads weren’t making adequate contact with either rotor.
Yesterday, Paul at Cyclo Fabrica found another (front) adaptor in his shop which resolved the issue on the front and now the contact on that rotor is much better.
The issue with the rear remains (I had to head off to do the school run before we could explore additional adaptors from different brands) so I wonder if anyone has a solid answer?
To confirm, the rear adaptor is the correct one for a 160mm rotor. But the pad isn't contacting the rotor enough and is likely to mean weird pad wear and below par braking..
