Does this come with the snap ring to support the bottom of the caliper as outlined in the manual?

If You Are Building Your Own Bike...
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
I ordered a frame set and couldn’t figure out at first how to fit a 160mm rotor on the rear of my bike with the Shimano Dura Ace right/rear brake caliper shifter combo. Then I found this handy little adapter. The left/front shifter caliper set comes with an adapter that can be flipped to fit the 140mm or 160mm rotor.

Worked as advertised

- I've put it through the wringer
Converted my 140mm rear rotor on a BMC Roadmachine 01 to 160mm so I could interchange wheels from several bikes. Easy to install. No worries here.

If you need to fit post-mount calipers onto a flat-mount frameset, these little adapters are the way to go. The end result might not look as clean as using a flat-mount caliper, but I'm more than happy to make that compromise if it lets me save the few hundred dollars a new brake system would cost.

So I just got a new gravel bike and the ENVE Gravel road fork that came on the frame is the new flat mount standard. The SRAM RED Hydraulic disc brake set that I have is a post mount. I really did not want to buy a new caliper for this new standard, admittedly it would have a cleaner look if I used a flat mount caliper, but I really did not want to shell out extra cash. In comes the Shimano flat mount disc brake adapter to the rescue. I picked up the 160mm "Front Post to Flat" adapter and voila! Everything was right in the world again.

The description indicates that this adapter allows for installing a flat-mount caliper on a post-mount frame. Is this true? If so, which ones would I need for front and rear? "Post to flat" to me would mean you have post calipers you need to install on a flat frame, so I was looking for an item called "flat to post"--but do I have this backwards? Thanks in advance.

Right now there are no adapters that would allow flat mount calipers on post mount frames. The one you mention means adapting a post mount caliper to a flat mount frame. I am glad I called shimano before being really dissapointed once I ordered it.

Hi, so this mount is for installing a post mount or standard brake caliper onto a flat mount frame.
