Shimano Dura Ace R9120 Hydro Brake Levers With Calipers
The Dura-Ace R9120 Road Disc Brake combines the mechanical 9120 shifters with the Hydraulic 9170 brake calipers for a combination of smooth and speedy shifting with powerful and efficient braking.
Is an adaptor available to allow fitment to post mount frames?
I've had a search but can't see any adaptor that will let me fit these flat mount brakes to my traditional(?) post mount forks and similar for the rear. Please let me know what options are available.
Thanks,

could you please tell me what small / med /large equates to in UK mens shoe size with these compression socks (I am a uk male shoe size 7). thankyou
Top 250 Contributor
Click on the tab labelled 'size & description' for a table showing the size chart.
Size 7 is either small or medium, depending on what level of compression you are looking for (small will be tighter but still fit OK).
