Eric, 

You just need to start making 10 of these at a time lol.

Hey, just registered to say I am interested in one of these mounts, but also have some questions if you don’t mind.

I came across this thread when looking for adapting Hayes.

I have a ’99 Gary Fisher that has Hayes mounts, but it is a 17.5″ frame. The a2z adapter does not fit since the rear triangle is so small, so I am looking to get something smaller, and this looks like it would work.

However, it looks like your adapter does 22mm Hayes to IS, but the IS mounts are horizontal, whereas the a2z was putting the IS mounts vertical – so with that one, my hope was to then convert IS to Post Mount and go on my merry way.

With this adapter, I could run a flat mount rear caliper then?

Thanks! If I am correct in my assumption, I’d love to buy one!

In summary, the A2Z adapter will require you to use a Front IS caliper in the rear for a 160mm rotor.  It rarely has clearance for the post mount adapter style calipers.

My adapter is used to only mount flat road style calipers that are popular with gravel and CX bikes.  There are various brands of these road calipers, and you must use the proper branded lever to make it all work.  I like Shimano so I use Shimano MTB levers with Shimano calipers.  Message me if you want to buy one.

I just got 5 more in, but 4 have shipped out.  1 remaining from this batch.  Message me if interested.  $60 each includes Priority shipping.

Hello Eric

This is genius. I can finally stop constantly trying to resuscitate the old hayes 22mm caliper on my spooky pitboss.

Do you have an adapter that you would be willing to ship to the UK?

Thanks

Rich

[bikeric]

Yes, I have 1 left.  Price is $70 to the UK.  Message me directly and we’ll discuss payment.  Sorry for the slow response.  I was on vacation in Florida last week.

Thanks,

Which model of brake are you using?
 

I’ve mounted Ultegra calipers with Eric’s adapter on a 2000 gold 19″ with no problems.

[bikeric]

My only guess is that you did not remove the Shimano adapter piece that came on the caliper?  You need to use the screws that come with the stock adapter and caliper, but use my adapter directly with the caliper.  I am also assuming you are not talking about a Sweet Spot frame?  I have not have confirmation on fitment to those frames yet.

Please post up a picture if possible.

[Ridgerunner401]

I am using the Shimano flat brakes in your pictures – however the bleed nipple won’t clear the seat stay.  Am I doing something wrong?  U have plenty of clearance.  I’m using these on 2 2000 Homegrowns both 19s
