Disc caliper too hi...
 

[Closed] Disc caliper too high on disc. Singular frames.

Hello all.

Wierd problem on both singular frames - puffin and swift. Same deore brakes - 615, correct adapters for 160 and 180 rotors, but the caliper sits too high and all of the pad doesn't hit the disc - about 3mm just hits air.

Is this anything to worry about or should I put smaller adapters on and pack it with washers?

Cheers.

Are you sure the adaptors ARE correct? I bought cheap aftermarket ones from a certain company - and they gave exactly the issue you describe.

Shimano adapters, correct way up. It's close, but just not quite there. Thinking it might be a singular quirk?

Face the mounts (or adaptors)
