Hi

Are the mounts of front and rear calipers of the older 05ish calipers different sizes?

Presumably they are as mine were 185 front rotor , 160 rear rotor as std. Odd though because yes they look the same.

rear is mounts fit a 20mm smaller rotor than the front ones (so my avid BBs, using the same adaptors, fit F/R 200/180 or 180/160)

(200 vs 203 or even 205 seems to be "identical" - with my brakes I sometimes just have to shim up a tiny bit with washers under the caliper)

my bet is that your calipers are identical (but I've never looked at a magura brake)

scardypants is spot on

the front is IS mount but is 180mm (not the std 160) the rear is std 160mm

thanks. it just seems that the a2z 205 adapter's give slightly different horizontal spacings from front to rear. Thought I may have put the cailpers on incorrectly as i've re-bled them after adding new hoses.

cheers

I think the 205 adapter will make it 225mm as the front is already off set for a 180mm rotor. If it's the front you are on about
