travisza Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 This was needed to complete my gravel / CX build bike. Only Cannondale will know why their CAADX frame has a flat mount brake on frame but post mount fork??... lolOrdered from Canada and took 2 weeks with Aramex global shopper ( excellent service). After ordering it I came across a hubber who has a contact for making it locally... at a third of the price I paid. But at least this one is cnc made and works perfectly.

Wannabe Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Disappointing ... if you had time to snap a pic, you had time to fit those babies Enjoy! If I had the new tires and tubes on hand, it would have been fitted last night, trust me. Will make a turn at the LBS on my way home, and it will then be a done deal tonite. I will enjoy them, thanks. Been pondering this purchase a while already. Hairy 1
Mongoose! Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Thats so odd. And this wouldn't work:https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/336851-shimano-flat-mount-adapters-front/? Not trying to sell it - you've solved the problem already. but this is for a flat mount fork to fit a post mount brake?I needed to fit it the other way round - flat mount brake to post mount fork.
travisza Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 but this is for a flat mount fork to fit a post mount brake?I needed to fit it the other way round - flat mount brake to post mount fork. Ah yes of course. Then thats truly odd by Cannondale. Mongoose! 1
Redrush Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 So after months of flip flopping between buying a slade trial or building a dartmoor back to buying a slade. I did the logical thing and bought a Commencal. Now I'm waiting like a kid on Christmas MORNE , T-Bob, Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and 4 others 7

Redrush Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 The box (+ bike) is in cpt still. It is an AM essential. Complete overkill but why not. Hairy 1
Blokeonabike Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Just recieved this Carbon Lyne Pulse Flat bar, can't wait to fit it???? Andrew_Smith, thebob and Jarl Borg 3

Not trying to sell it - you've solved the problem already.No, that is post mount to post mount... You get adapters like yours and adapters to put a post mount caliper on a flat mount frame. But getting a flat mount calier on a post mount frame or fork is more challenging - AFAIK only the Canadian company that makes it commercially. Edit: sorry, I see your question has been answered already. Edited October 9, 2019 by Grease_Monkey Mongoose! 1

Beattbox Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 Not a purchase as such but a gift from DJR, my riding buddy. Hand made and personalized leather pouches. The smaller of the 2 holds the tools shown in the pic which is perfect for the MTB and easy to slip into a pocket, either in baggies or jersey pocket. The bigger one holds a road tube, puncture kit, multitool and tyre lever, also fits easily into a jersey pocket.Easy if you transfer tools between bikes and don't like tubby bags.
