Okay so…. Woke up at 5 and couldn’t stop thinking about it so got out early, amazing what not rushing and a bit of sleep can do!
All fitted and fully operational!
Thank you 👍
I will caveat that I am someone who’s always taken my bike to a bikeshop for anything like brakes but over the years have learnt that I’m not happy with how a bolt was slightly rounded or the money I spent so I’m a rider learning to do everything himself and an adapter shouldn’t defeat me and think I was just rushing!

The only thing to decide now, is if I want to get 203 ice-tech rotors or stick with the SRAM 200’s…. From what I’m reading Ice-tech’s basically eliminate brake fade which the SRAM’s suffered from but also I now have finned pads so that should also help heat dissipate.
Is it acceptable to just add a small spacer to the caliper bolts to get to the 203mm or should I be able to do a straight swap?

Then again I’ve read Galfer disks are meant to be very good, I’ll use them in anger and see if I need to change

When I've mixed SRAM and Shimano, I've found it much easier to buy a simple band-on clamp for the shifter. Like this: https://www.tredz.co.uk/.Avid-MatchMaker-X-Clamp_31529.htm?sku=134085&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Brakes&gclid=CjwKCAjws--ZBhAXEiwAv-RNL-pdJ8jvXMPETNUmbfKLS35Of8LUfV-u_Kv67kKzIzZ7QsbCfZvsOBoCG7wQAvD_BwE
