JT! Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 (edited) So, have i done something silly or has the guy who sent me the brake sent me the wrong sise adaptor? Edited November 29, 2007 by JT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor the basher. Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Hmm will it make a diffrence if you try puting the adapter on the other way round...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigman Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Done something silly i am affraid, rear disc mounts on all bar a few frames (Simtra, MBK) are 20mm lower than the front, meaning to get that setup you have there you either need to get a 20mm smaller rotor or get a +40mm disc adapter Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the Ciguena frame have a standard disc mount position comared with most bikes, inc mountain bikes?Who's in the wrong me or the seller? Edited November 29, 2007 by JT!

JT! Posted November 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Yeah, well i'll just order the +40mm now and see what he has to say.I didn't state what fame i had, but he didn't ask.I said i just wanted a pair of hope mono trials, 180 and 200mm, and the adaptors to fit.Does the Ciguena have a shorter disc mount compared with most bikes?

The Duck Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 (edited) No I don't think so, its just that a few bikes like bigman said already have a sort of +20 adapter built in...- Heavily braced rear disc mount is at a +20 position, meaning a 20mm larger rotor can be used for more power, ideal for competition riding!(MBK)Edit: Typo Edited November 29, 2007 by Quackers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted November 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Thanks, so really then i have been supplied with the wrong sise adaptor. Silly american. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigman Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Ciguena's just have a std ISO rear mount, meaning that a front 180mm caliper is needed to get a rear 160mm caliper, looking at the pics i presume you are wanting to run a 200mm rotor, so yes you need a +40 (which you have ordered )Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
