I have some brand new BB& MTN calipers that I traded for some BB5 Road calipers.
They were traded on the presumption that they were 160/160.
I have come to fit them and one caliper has a 0mm label on the adapter and the other +20mm. I took this to be 160mm (0mm) and 180mm (+20mm).
This does not seen to be the case.
So what the heck have I got!

the 0 is your front 160mm
the +20 is your rear 160mm
the IS mount on the rear of a frame is traditionally 20mm smaller than the front IS mount
