Shimming up caliper to increase rotor size on MTB brakes
My rotors are soon done and I am considering upping the game from 7" to
8" in front and from 6" to 7" in back. Are these spacers a good way to go or is that playing with fire? https://www.amazon.com/Avid-Post-Mou.../dp/B00F5I3P5E What my bike has in front now looks like this but more round in the middle: https://www.amazon.com/Avid-Post-Mou.../dp/B00F5I3P5E No spacer in back (yet) and there I could probably just use the existing front spacer. The brakes are Promax Decipher and I can't get an 8" compatible post with cross-connector that has the right "belly shape" in the middle. The Shimano and similar ones are too small. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |

An alternative might be this but it looks a bit too much weight-stripped for my taste. I like it bulky and strong. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |
