Using left front caliper as rear caliper


Recommended Posts

Nothing needs to be done you can use the fronts on the rear you just need to bleed the caliper when it is off the bike if you use the wrong side.

You use the right front. I'm not sure if the left front will work. You have to use the rear brake caliper mounting plate. I'm pretty sure you use the front caliper slide pins. It mounts right onto a regular brake stay. The bleeder screw doesn't end up quite at the top, so you have to get it to the top to bleed. Either pick the bike way up in the air or bleed with it off the bike and something stuffed in between the pads. I've never actually used one, but here is one I bolted up to see how it looked. Someday I'll send one to the polisher and then get it mounted. In my opinion, it looks real clean.

It mounts to the rear stay I just use an old disk to slide in between the pads and bleed it while it is off the bike. I have one on my daughters bike but I have no pictures of it.
