adapters for the rear hydro calipers

[Slowbee]

I took the magura louise calipers off the rear stay (I think its called, the bit where the caliper attaches) of the giant nrs xtc1.

 

Then I tried to get the (new ) juicy three calipers on.  But errrm the holes dont match. So I presume I need to get an adapter of sorts.

 

Are the adapters readily available? I also have 165mm rotors.

 

Also, are the holes for the calipers standard on all bikes ?

 

Is it also a case that magura have made a caliper to fit these holes and Avid did (sram) not, forcing you to buy adapters?

A question (just to clarify, because it is unlikely the Magura brakes have non-standard mounting points)

1. Did you remove the caliper from the adapter, or did you unbolt the entire adapter and caliper as one? Reason: The rear stays have 2 holes on them for mounting the adapter to, then the brake caliper is bolted onto this. So if you've unbolted just the caliper a mounting bracked should still be bolted to the rear stays.

 

A photo is worth a thousand words, if you could take a snap or two it would help.

 

If you have 165mm rotors then the adapter that was on your bike would be a 165mm specific adapter, these mount points should be standard, if not glad I don't have Magura's.

Daxiet, the caliper did not have an adapter, I just removed it from the standard two holes.

 

Looks like I will need to get an adapter from the standard two holes to fit the avids
