Hi
I have a Boardman 'Urban' MTB the one with fixed carbon forks. Brakes are Elixir 3 which I've been trying to adjust to quieten and remove some judder. Have noticed that the hole drilled in the upper post mount is not centered. This reduces the adjustment possible on the caliper but I'm wondering if I should really be complaining to Halfords in terms of poor manufacture?
Would appreciate your comments.
Thanks

they may be meant to be like that for disc clearance (ie not rubbing on the fork/post mount legs). Or it could be a quality issue.

You bought from halfords to I would go there and speak to them. See if they have another in store to compare too.

I have the same bike. The post mount holes are central.
