I'm running XT hydros, and would like to go from a 6" dsic in the front to 7". Where do I find the right adaptor for this? My fork is a Vanilla with 51 mm spacing on the calip[er bolts. I've looked at Procepoint, Jenson, Universal, etc.

Has anyone else made this upgrade? Where did you get your adaptor?

Thx

Go to your LBS, they'll order it for you.

You do not need to use Shimano adapters. IS and postmount are standardized enough. If you have a postmount caliper, you can use a hayes or a formula adapter. The new hayes adapters are lighter than they used to be and generally cheaper&easier to come by than shimanos.

A rear 160mm adapter used on the front will give you +20mm.

Come on guys, read closer!

A rear 160mm adapter used on the front will give you +20mm.

I'm looking for WHERE to get the damn thing!

Besides ordering from my glacially-paced LBS.

If you're having a hard time finding it online, why not just go to your LBS? It takes us about a week to get a special order in.

I did the same upgrade some months ago. I am located in Germany and got the adaptor and rotor from switzerland, but with the Shimano part numbers you could search around for a US supplier

IS to IS 180mm adapter: SM-MA-F180S/S
IS to Postmount 180mm adapter: SM-MA-F180S/P

Good luck,
Cris

I got a Hayes 160mm rear adatper from my LBS and using it on the front with a Post Mount Magura Louise caliper with a 180mm rotor. Works fine. You can get these pretty much any shop (local or online). Where have you looked that didn't have one?
