If I was to upgrade my front 160mm rotors to 185mm rotors, I know I will need a new rotor and a new [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=2]Avid CPS Disc Brake Adapter (Front). Do I need to get new mounting hardware for the front brake adapter as well? Or can I use my existing hardware from my 160mm adapter? Any insight is appreciated.

the adapter will come w/ two bolts...and you may want to get new bolts as well w/ that nice blue coating of thead lock

Thanks for replying, however I found the adapters on PricePoint and it indicates that the hardware is not included. Are these two bolts any different from the ones that are on my hardware already? (Besides the blue loctite on them)?

if your bolts arent stripped, run em. You can use a drop of loctite.

you are going to use ones to bolt on the adapter and then 2 more to bolt on the caliper. PM sent
