Hello all,

I bought flat mount groupset - frame is post mount.

Does anyone have a Post Mount caliper that they want to swap for a flat mount? Or even sell?

Also looking for:
- compact drop bars, 42cm wide, 85mm reach
- 27.2 seatpost
Let me know if you can help me out!

I think that might be a little out of my price range!

What flat mount calipers do you have? And is it one or both frame and fork that need to be post mount?

I have the BR-RS805 flat mount ultegra hydro calipers.

The fork is flat mount (Kinesis Tracer disc), so purchasing flat mount groupset wasn't totally wrong. "Flat mount front, post rear." to quote the seller.

If all else fails I hear that you can use MTB calipers just the same. The M6000 one has the inline hose entry point (helps if heel clearance is an issue) and should work, they are available for £30 or less.

My LBS tells me that they have successfully done this, but you might want to check with yours!

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
