isitafox Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Picked up a MT2 off eBay the other day but it came without mounting bolts. I plan on running it on some forks with a +20 mount with a 180 rotor so I bought a standard IS to PM 160 mount, the question is what bolts do I need to mount the caliper onto the adaptor? I know with Avids you need those domed washers but are these the same or it it just a bolt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Avid adaptor - fancy washers.Hope or Magura adaptor - no fancy washers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted September 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 This is the one I got so I assume no fancy washers then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 No personal experience with them, but searching "Clarks disk brake" yields this image, so I'd wager you're fine without: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Reynolds Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 You can use either. using domed washers just allows for more adjustment if your fork mounts arnt 100% straight. As long as the pads hit the disk squarly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the pads hit the disk squarlyJust for the people searching in the future - he doesn't mean this the way it reads (or I hope not )You can only use the domed washers with the Avid adaptors, and if you have an Avid adaptor you have to use them. The bits that just out are slightly shorter than the Hope/Magura adaptors to accommodate the spacers. You can't use the domed washers to straighten out the caliper on a Hope adaptor without it being too high and not using all the pad surface. If you use an Avid adaptor without the domed washers, or a stack of other washers the same height, it'll be too low and the top of the disc will clip/hit the caliper.

dezmtber Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Pretty shure u will not need any of the vee brake washers on that. As far as I am aware the avid juicy and earlier elixer calipers are the part that's different. The mounts will work the same as hope, shimano, magura ect. The mount will add plus 0, 20, 23 or 43 for use with 160, 180, 183 or 203 rotors. There are a few others but if you have a magura brake and want to use a 180 rotor on an +20 fork Any 160 mount works without vee washers.
