for the above model brakes are the calipers front and rear specific or can they be used at either end? thank you for any help
they are front rear specific.
thats not so good, can't find a rear caliper anywhere but loads of fronts!!! i've tried everything i can think of but i'm quite limited in bike knowledge, any ideas from the experts here?
The only difference is when fitting them without an adaptor the rear uses a 20mm bigger rotor. So if you fit a rear to the front, then you need a 180mm rotor. If you put a front on a rear, then you either run a 140mm rotor, or you need a +20mm adaptor to run a 160mm rotor.
Hope that's clear!

boris, i'll need to get a 140mm rotor and give that a go. thanks!
Slaidlaw81 - I have two rear calipers (doh!), will swap one for a front if you wish...
dickyboy, i've not got another front one but they are available online. if you want to sell one how much are you looking for?
