Merlin warrantied my Deore 4 pot caliper that cracked as I was bleeding it up, they actually did this a while ago and I’ve only finally got round to fitting and bleeding the new one today and fitting the brakes to my Honzo in place of the Sram Guides.
I was surprised to see that I’d snapped the rear is-post adapter. Presumably a result of using these tall convex spacers which I presume I’ve used as they are what was supplied with the brakes (although I had a one piece +20mm post-post apart on the front)
The Shimano brake is now fitted with the correct size is-post adapter (which is heavier across the bottom than this smaller one) but maybe a smaller is-post plus a one piece post-post is actually better as it braces it better?
