Are you saying it doesn't work, or asking whether it should?

If there is a problem you probably need some washers, google AVID CPS.

It doesn't work as far as I see.

Should it work?

I think you might just need the washer bits like off V brake blocks.

Shimano use 200mm rotors don't they - would that be the cause of your sorrow?

I didn't have much problem with that... oonce I took a file to the adaptor... and filed alot of the bolt head off... and swapping to a 180 rotor... and filing the wahers plate thingumy... and making a super stumpy allen key...

Simple see?

Now for the usual faff of figuring out why the new caliper, new pads, new rotor, when all together sound like an angle grinder.

I have deore hydros in a box in the cupboard...talking to me.
