J Trials 31 Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 I am planning on buying a rear 180 mm Magura Louise. Would everything in the kit be ok for putting on the front or will I need an adaptor? I'm new to discs, I always ran HS-33's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm new to discs, I always ran HS-33's. you'll have to flip the lever. so it could screw up bleeding it, i'd also imagine you need an adaptor for the caliper as rear mounts are shaped/spaced differently to front mounts.

craigjames Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 the rear 180 adaptor is the same as a front 200. so you can either change the rotor or the adaptor, the hose will also be way too long why dont you get a front http://www.cycleworld.co.uk/product/14218/...isc_Brake_Front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Trials 31 Posted June 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 I'm running it moto style. the rear 180 adaptor is the same as a front 200. so you can either change the rotor or the adaptor, the hose will also be way too long What adaptor do I get or what rotor? A 200 rotor? I don't really want to go that big. If that's so, I'd get a 160 and get a 180 rotor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright, thanks! It looks like it will actually be cheaper for me to just buy a Hope instead of getting a different adaptor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
