Review on πŸ”§ Enhance Your Braking Precision with Shimano F180P/P2 Disc Brake Adapter by Daniel Jackson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

F180P/P2 allows you to replace a 160mm mounting post with a 180mm mounting post.

I have a Specialized AWOL that comes with Tektro Spyre post-mount calipers and 160mm rotors front and rear. With the F180P/P2 adapter I was able to increase the front and rear brakes from 160 mm to 180 mm. The adapters are well made and fit my bike perfectly. If you want to upgrade from a 160mm to a 180mm tripod, you need this adapter. I've added a picture showing the rear brake with spacer and 180mm rotor. As you can see, the shim raises the caliper and rotates it back a bit to keep the pads vertical and centered on the rotor's contact patch. Looking at the surface of the rotor, the shiny contact points are well centered in the desired braking zone. In general, the ideal configuration.

Pros
  • Sturdy finish
Cons
  • Minor repairability
