Shimano R160P/S Disc Brake Adapter – 160mm Rotor, Post Mount
The Shimano R160P/S disc brake adapter allows you to correctly run a 160mm rotor on a frame or fork with a 51mm post mount using a 74mm post mount caliper. It’s a straightforward, OEM Shimano solution for proper caliper positioning and reliable braking alignment.
This adapter is commonly used when setting up or replacing hardware on post mount frames and forks that require precise spacing for a 160mm rotor.
