I have Rockshox Revelation fork which is Post mount. I was going to fit Hayes 180mm brakes so bought a Shimano 180mm Post mount adapter. However with these things i bought an Avid brakeset instead , will the Shimano 180mm Post mount adapter be ok to use with the Avid caliper or will i have trouble due to Avid rotor being 185mm?.

The rear brake has an adapter but i have a Shimano one also same as front, again 180mm would this also cause problems with the new Avid brakes?

Help appreciated.

LOL....reading back it did sound daft, didn't come out as i meant it to.

Don't want to buy another adapter if i don't need to.

The brakes will work better if you use the correct size adaptors ๐Ÿ˜‰

IIRC if you are using 180 mm rotors, Shimano adaptors catch the tabs on Avid pads but you can always cut them off.
