Help: Disc Brake Adapter

[mmelito]

I think I over thunk this and confused myself.

I have an Enve CX fork with post mount disc brake configuration which supports a 140mm rotor. I wish to got to a 160mm rotor.

Can some help me with the shimano adapter coding

SM-MA-F160 P/S ?..

Or suggest an alternate adapter to order?

Btw.. the calipers are sram force CX post mount


Many thanks.

SHimano doesn't make one. this one is by Avid.

Awesome thank you. Any chance anyone know the model number for this avid adapter?

The Shimano ESMMAF180PP2 will actually work. It's just a +20mm 74mm post to post. No idea why they specifically call it a 180 but it's what I'm running on my TA Enve with a 160mm rotor, works perfectly and is pretty cheap compared to the other adapters out there. The SM-MA90-F180PP would be fine too, just the xtr version.

As @commonguy001 also stated, I use Shimano SM-MA90 F/R180p/p (which is Mount Adapter, Front/Rear ,180, Post/Post). Because it's a 140mm mount it only raise brake caliper 20mm. I would also suggest using name brand adapters as the off brands are not always to spec and you may get issues that arise from them. -J


(SM-MA-F160 P/S= Mount Adapter, Front 160mm, Post/I.S. mount for 54mm International Standard mount).

I'm pretty sure it's a part # change, newest, lighter version. Version 2.0 if you will.

The call it a "180" because mountain bikes (on which disk brakes belong ) have a default of 160 and going larger needs that adapter.

Good info, good to have it confirmed that it works.
