This may be a daft question but are front and rear post mount brake adaptors interchangable?
Just got a DW 5 spot and the rear brake is post mount.
I use Juicy 7's with 185mm rotor and can't seem to find a specific rear adaptor to suit.
Cheers

I would think this would fit even though its for the front as the calipers are interchangable - this is what I used on the front of mine as the IS adapter on teh the front is IS to 160 so I just bolted this ontop :

Yup I am right:

Use this adapter to mount any Avid caliper with a 7" (185mm) rotor to a frame with Post Mount mounting tabs. Does not work with International Standard tabs. Works for both front or rear brake applications
