danielhughr Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 Hi All, I have a 2017 S-Works disc with the early generation Shimano BR-RS805 brake calipers. I want to replace the calipers but believe that the newer flat mount calipers will not work with my frame. Can you guys let me know which calipers I could buy to replace these? Would appreciate any guidance!
danielhughr Posted September 8, 2020 Author Posted September 8, 2020 I believe that the BL-M785 XT MTB calipers would work, but would appreciate confirmation before buying!
Paul Ruinaard Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 Why do you want to replace the calipers - are you experiencing performance issues? Or is it a new frame?
danielhughr Posted September 8, 2020 Author Posted September 8, 2020 Why do you want to replace the calipers - are you experiencing performance issues? Or is it a new frame? They are a bit corroded and don’t seem to be functioning 100% all the time.
Paul Ruinaard Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 They are a bit corroded and don’t seem to be functioning 100% all the time. Its a mission to go this way. I went the other way. I used the calipers i had from my RS 805 calipers on my new levers so i can't comment accurately but i got adapters to do that i.e fit to the newer frame. I am sure that the calipers would have an adapter.
