Frequently Asked Questions
What rotor sizes does this bracket support?
It depends on the variant you choose. Available variants include configurations for R170 (rear 170), F180/R160, and F200/R180. Check the variant listing to match the bracket to the rotor sizes you plan to run.
Will this fit my frame or fork?
The Avid Post Bracket is made for post-mount calipers and post-mount frame/fork bosses. If your frame or fork uses post mounts, the bracket will bolt on—verify rotor mapping for your specific frame/fork to ensure proper clearance and alignment.
Are mounting bolts included?
Yes. This product includes stainless steel caliper mounting bolts. Some variants also include stainless bracket mounting bolts. The hardware is compatible with CPS and standard mounting threads where specified.
Do I need any special tools to install it?
No special tools beyond common bike tools are required. A torque wrench, appropriate hex keys (typically 5mm or 6mm), and a rotor truing tool or pad centering procedure are recommended to ensure proper torque and alignment.
Can I use this to upgrade to a larger rotor for better braking?
Yes. The primary purpose of these adapters is to change caliper position to accommodate larger rotors or different rotor pairings, which can improve braking power and heat dissipation on long descents.
Is this compatible with other brands of calipers?
The bracket is intended for post-mount calipers and will generally work with other brands that use standard post-mount spacing (Avid/SRAM, Shimano, etc.). Always confirm caliper post spacing and bolt thread compatibility before installing.
Buying Guide
When choosing a post-mount disc brake adaptor, start by identifying the rotor sizes you want front and rear. Match the adaptor variant to those rotor sizes and confirm your frame/fork uses post-mount bosses. Prioritize brackets that include stainless hardware to avoid corrosion, especially if you ride in wet or salty conditions. Also consider whether you want a standard anodized finish or a rainbow/anodized variant for extra corrosion resistance and visual flair. Finally, check caliper post spacing and mounting bolt thread sizes—most post-mount calipers are compatible, but confirming before purchase prevents surprises during installation.
