Azarathal Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) New question, post #3 Got a tech V2, selling forgot to include the pads aswell as giving a false description of the levers At least he's refunding me enough to get some clarks pads for it. Organic or sintered for trials? Edited September 15, 2011 by Azarathal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azarathal Posted September 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Thank you. New question. V2 calipers wont fit on my IS-Post adaptors, caliper hits the adaptor. Can I get away with filing the adaptor? Or do I have to bite the bullet and waste yet more money replacing my brand new rotors for 180's and getting new adaptors?

Azarathal Posted September 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Nevermind whether the adaptor is the wrong way around, it does it with both brakes and both adaptors in varying positions. Click#1 Click#2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence--Trials Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) If i were you i'd TRY and put some spacers there, however i dont know how this would effect the disc. EDIT: to be fair if you can fit the disc how it is i'd just pop some spacers on the right mount (first picture) and mound it like that.

Azarathal Posted September 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 So you think it'd be better to grab less of the disc and run it how it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silferme Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 You can always try fitting spacers and only using half of the surface if the pads but I quite sure that it's not optimal. A friend of mine had the same problem with magura louises and logically it was only 50% of the braking power so he ended up updating the rotor to 180mm after few weeks of frustration.

Azarathal Posted September 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 (edited) Sigh. I had ordered 180mm rotors until someone I spoke to at Tarty said this brake could run 160mm with the A and F adaptors. I then asked to change my rotors and just caught them in time. Apart from filing down the mounts I'm looking at another £18 per rotor and the shipping cost to send my mounts back? Edit* turns out my rear caliper only needs 1-2mm of spacers either side and with the onza sliding disc tab should be fine. Front Is the one pictured.

Azarathal Posted September 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Filed adaptors down and added 1mm of washers and it fits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
