Frequently Asked Questions
Which rotor sizes do the different IS variants support?
Each variant offsets the caliper to suit common rotor sizes: 0 IS = Front 160 / Rear 140, 20 IS = Front 180 / Rear 160, 40 IS = Front 200 / Rear 180, 60 IS = Rear 200. Always verify front/rear positions and clearances before final installation.
Will this adapter fit my post-mount calipers?
Yes — the adapter accepts standard Post Mount calipers. However, check that your caliper body and brake hose/routing have enough clearance with the chosen rotor size and adapter offset before tightening.
Are mounting bolts included and what material are they?
Yes. Each Avid IS Bracket ships with stainless steel bracket mounting bolts for improved corrosion resistance and long-term durability in wet and muddy riding conditions.
Can I use this adapter on both front and rear?
Yes — variants are specified for front and rear rotor combinations. Confirm the specific variant (0, 20, 40, 60) matches the rotor diameter you intend to run on the front or rear to ensure correct caliper position and clearance.
Do I need any special tools to install the adapter?
No special tools are required beyond standard hex keys or torque wrenches for the mounting bolts. Use a torque wrench to tighten bolts to the caliper/adapter manufacturer's recommended torque to avoid over- or under-tightening.
Is this compatible with my bike's IS tabs?
If your frame or fork uses International Standard (IS) brake mount tabs, this adapter is compatible. Measure tab spacing and check for interference with axle hardware, thru-axles, or fender mounts before installation.
Buying Guide
If you need to mount Post Mount calipers to a frame or fork with International Standard tabs, an IS-to-Post adapter like the Avid IS Bracket is the easiest, lowest-cost solution. Choose the variant that matches the rotor diameter you plan to run — front and rear rotor sizes often differ, so pick the offset that matches the wheel/rotor configuration. Consider caliper clearance, hose routing and any fender or rack hardware that could interfere. If you're uncertain, measure current rotor-to-arch clearance or consult a bike mechanic. For frequent rotor swaps or bike builds, buy the adapter that most closely matches your common rotor sizes to minimize repeated adjustments.
