Review on 🔩 Enhance Brake Performance with Avid Post Spacer Set Stainless Caliper Mounting Bolts (CPS and Standard) by Awiwi Swift

I recently bought a 2015 Specialized AWOL Elite with 160mm rotors and Tekro Spyre mechanical disc brakes. The rear caliper mounting posts needed lining (they were curved relative to the axle). Since my local bike shop didn't originally have a Park DT-4 or DT-5 pad tool, I decided to fix it myself (and upgrade to 180mm brakes) with: 1. Shimano Ice Technologies SM-RT86 V2 6 bolt -Rotor - 180mm 2nd set Avid 20 S strut seals, front 180/rear 160 2 sets, 1 for front, 1 for rear. In addition to moving the caliper from 160mm to 180mm rotors, the AVID spacer kit includes round shims that allow you to adjust the angle of the caliper and compensate for corner mounting posts. But after I ordered the rotors and spacers, the bike shop's chief mechanic came back from vacation and pulled an alignment tool out of the drawer. Now the caliper posts are perpendicular to the axle. I went ahead and installed 180mm discs and caliper spacers. If you look at the picture, you can assume that one set contains parts for the front and rear brakes. Not true! If you want to change the front and rear rotors from 160mm to 180mm, you need to buy two sets of spacers and two rotors. The 180mm discs improve braking performance noticeably and look very sharp on the bike. All in all it was a worthwhile upgrade.
