Post to flatmount adapters
Has anyone got first hand experience of these adapters? I’m looking at some Force brifters, the are post mount while the frame is flat mount. They’re a bargain, but only if the will work well!
Thanks in advance!

I've used one on the rear for several years on an old hardtail. Can't imagine you'd have any issues with either tbh.

Been using TRP ones on my Camino for the past year or so, all good and trouble free
Re: Post to flatmount adapters
I thought you could not do post to flat - ie if the caliper is POST it wont go on a flat frame- there is no adapter for this
You can do a flat mount calipe ron to a post mount frame with an adapter
As in reverse has an old hardtail i assume its post mount FRAME and flat caliper
Google seems to agree with this assesment but i have no real world experience of this

So I can and I can’t!!
Schrodingers brake mount adapter then
That said, I’m pretty sure I read it’s the opposite to what I now can’t do!!

Lazarus is right, sorry Gari. Just looked back through some old photos and that's confirmed I was talking through a hole in my hat.

Seems it can be done either way then:)
Rear might be an issue on a small frame52)
I might send Mason an email to check!!

Re: Post to flatmount adapters
I looked into it years ago when flat mount frames were a new thing and it wasn't possible. The adapter manufactures seem to have caught up now, which is good.
They say you learn one new thing a day... I wasted today's new thing on adapters for a frame I don't own

Re: Post to flatmount adapters
Thems the trp ones I've been using with post mount calipers and flat mount frame...
Edit: should clear fine still, and I guess you could use a 140mm rotor if you needed to for a smaller adapter
