Hi everyone. I need some help/advice.
My 'winter' hack is a BMC Grandfondo 02 from 2014/15 which has post mount type type disc calipers. I've used 785's with 160mm rotors to date.
Id like to know if:
1) is there any chance that I can move over to flat mount? links to pics below.
2) is a post mount just a post mount? finding spares/replacements of 785's is getting hard but it seems like there are MTB types still around. M820, M640, M9100 look like post mount types but for MTB. For whatever reason, i'm looking for the latest and greatest piston design.
Just came across a mention of Hope RX4 calipers elsewhere and realised they do a Flat mount and a Post mount, while also being compatible with Shimano hydraulic systems... Could be a solution?
4 Piston so should be good, but think/expect they take different pads to Shimano so unsure how they directly compare when it comes to power on the road. Worth researching/reading up on how they compare.
Of course you get colour options with Hope, so you could also switch to their coloured road rotors. Proper winter bike bling!
