I don’t really understand it though to be perfectly honest, as the x0 trail brakes and guide brakes use EXACTLY the same calipers, so how can the mounting not use CPS on the guides???? but does on the x0 trails
They are identical to the Guide. As said, CPS isn’t required as standard for the Trail or Guide. It’s just certain combinations they do. Looks like if you need a 20mm Post or spacer, 25mm spacers or a 30mm Post. Everything else you don’t use CPS. So yeah, if you run a 180mm at the front on a 160 PM fork then seems you do need CPS.
Though I’m betting you can just use something other than CPS washers. They’re just supposedly for ease of alignment aren’t they? Never found they were easy to align with them.
I’m fairly sure my X0 Trail did not come with CPS washers in the box. I had some anyway but was relieved I didn’t need them. I find they crack also, but usually when undoing them, so every time I remove the calliper I needed new CPS washers.
Anyway, running on Lyrik forks using a 200mm rotor (SRAM have changed from 203 to 200 now). Standard PM 40 adapter. No CPS.
Rear is 180 rotor with an IS 40 adapter for my Nomad Mk2 frame.
