Anyone used one of these http://clee-cycles.co.uk/esite/P1043/product;jsessionid=A986DB1A6F4EAD54E892043AF758B82D to connect a Hope mini (not mono) IS brake to a fox post mount fork? If you have do you have photos as when I trid it this morning (in a slightly blured eye state) the mount fouls the back of the piston.

Maybe I had it the wrong way round or something.

If you have photos of the mini brake with this adapter would be great

Thanks

Pretty sure they don't work together as the caliper's too bulky.

I have replaced my mini mono front calliper with an m4 caliper, so I could sell you the mini mono calliper (post mount) if your interested. I think it's compatible with the older style levers.

would i just be able to unscrew hose from old caliper and just screw it straight into a mono mini, changing the washer only?

A new upsize adapter and new rotor may be your cheapest other option if the caliper sawp doesn't come off.

Edit having looked at the CLee ones the adapters all appear to be the same size but with spacers so they wont necessarily be any better.

Here's a pic of one on a set of RS Reba, that's a 180mm Hope mini, with a 180mm disc. no increase in disc size.
