Hi,
can I stick a Shimano XT caliper directly onto a Float post mount or do I need an adaptor?
Also, how easy is it to get the caliper aligned properly (piece of piss with an IS mount and adaptor)
Cheers,

is it a post mount caliper? is it the right size disc for the fork mount?
and its much easier to align a post mount caliper than a IS.
Hmmm...
Questions, questions.
To be honest Jambo, I'm a bit ignorant about these things. They appear to be post mount calipers which are bolted onto IS adaptors. I kind of assumed that I could just remove them from the adaptors and stick them straight on a post mount.
Currently using 160mm disc and I can find PM to PM adaptors for 185 and 203 rotors so I assumed (again) that 160mm is the default size for post mount.
depends on the fork. my totems are 203mm disc with no adaptor.
suck it and see. if its not far enough out then you need an adaptor. there only about a fiver.
Cheers.
I've just found the tech. PDFs on the Shimano site - looks like it'll just go straight on the PM without an adaptor. Sorted!
