So I order a rear brake adapter for the 51mm spacing on the back of my frame for my brake caliper. I email jenson and tell them it doesn't fit.
To make a long story short, it ends up being the hole spacing is 44mm and he says I need a special trek adapter, which then I can put on the rear adapter, and put on the caliper.
Anyone know where I can get a trek adapter for cheap?
Also, somewhere, I believe the avid site they said that the two AVID brand brake lever models they sell would be the only levers compatible with their mech brakes. I wanted to know if they are full of it, and they just want to sell their product or if it's true? I want to order these xt shifter/brake lever combos, and I want to make sure they'll be fine with my bb5s.
