Better brake adapters (after catastrophic failure of shimano adapter & caliper)

[Swoofty]

Don't get me wrong, I love Shimano too. XT has a 2 year warranty and XTR has a 3 year warranty. Their brakes are fine up front and the levers are legendary.

I have broken Hope's 180mm adapters twice.  After that I switched to 183mm version and have no any problems with it.

Weird, never seen a Hope one break. What a caliper though! So, in summary, just buy the fattest adaptor there is.

Hope you mean? I lost hope...

Be careful with the adapter guys!

Everything I run now is post mount and 180mm. Haven't broken anything brake related in 2 years now.
