Yuba: Which Shimano Disc Mounts
Postby icicic » Tue Feb 28, 2017 1:10 pm
I'm picking up a Yuba Mundo V4 on Thursday. I have a Deore XT BR-M8000 brake set arriving soon and I'm buying some XT-Saint RT86 Ice-Tech 6-Bolt Disc Rotors discs shortly but I'm on a website and don't know which of these mounts I need.
So I'm hoping someone can help me out here. Do I need the
Shimano Mount Adaptor Rear Post to IS,
Shimano Mount Adaptor Rear Post to Flat Road,
Shimano Mount Adaptor Front Post to Post or
Shimano something else?
Thanks,
Rik

Neither will anyone else unless you state which mounts the Yuba has and what diameter rotors you plan to use.icicic wrote:I'm on a website and don't know which of these mounts I need.

Thanks evolve, that'd be great.
Thanks anyway RonKRonK wrote:Neither will anyone else unless you state which mounts the Yuba has and what diameter rotors you plan to use
but unfortunately, the only vaguely relevant mention of Yuba mounts on their Specs sheet, is the mention of "Disc Tabs" and no sizing is given.
"Frame: Mundo Steel w/Disc Tabs
Fork: Mundo V4 Cr-Mo 1-1/8” Threaded w/Disc Tabs"
<http://yubabikes.com/wp-content/uploads ... -Specs.pdf>
So I've sent an enquiry but it's night time there so they haven't replied and meanwhile I have posted in advance of that information, in case these are a standard sized thing (which for all I know they might be, given that I'm new to disc brakes with only a few hours reading on them).
I know that they need to be Shimano Mount Adaptors (because Shimano, Mounting, and Adaptors) and I know that one will be Front and one will be Rear and I know that the front one will be 180mm to match the 180mm rotor and the rear will be 203mm to match the 203mm rotor.
The bit that throws me is the Post to IS, Post to Flat Road, Post to Post bit of the descriptions.
Shimano Mount Adaptor Rear Post to IS
Shimano Mount Adaptor Rear Post to Flat Road,
Shimano Mount Adaptor Front Post to Post
On one site I found "Shimano SM-MA90-R160-PS Disc Brake Mount Adapter - 160mm" (which won't do because 160) but while the rest appears simple, I don't yet know if that is an actual fact or mere appearance.
If you're able to help, then thank you, and if unable to help, thanks anyway.

I corrected the auto correct on your name twice. Apologies for not noticing that the ghost in the machine had screwed with it again.

I expect the rear will also have an IS mount, so again, you will need an Post to IS adaptor appropriate to the diameter of the disc.
I think this one (in 180mm) will work for the front. Shimano Mount Adaptor Front Post to IS
And this one will work for the back. Shimano Mount Adaptor Rear Post to IS 203mm
Ask Duck to verify.

Thanks RonKRonK wrote:So Yuba say the fork has disc tabs, not posts - that implies an IS mount is used. The M8000 caliper is post mount, so you will need an Post to IS adaptor appropriate to the diameter of the disc.

Starting to get a bit frustrated with the quirks of this bike to the point where I wish I forked up $3k for a new one.

Normal - usual IS differences between front and rear mounts. Best to do some reading about it..SmellyTofu wrote:Starting to get a bit frustrated with the quirks of this bike
"A flaw in this design is that the distance from the center of the disc (the hub axle) to the caliper mount is different on the front and back brakes - meaning you need to have two unique calipers or adapters for the front and rear brakes (assuming the use of the same size rotor)."

The quirks are not charming quirks, are they SmellyTofu?SmellyTofu wrote:I'm in the process of moving to hydro Deore disc setup on my new-to-me Mundo 4.1. I've got some 160mm IS adaptor out of my spare parts bin but when I've fitted them on the rear (fronts to come as I found out the front fork is weak using any decent sized brake rotors) the 160mm rotors on the back is covered by a tiny bit of the brake pads. Was I supposed to go up to a 180mm rotor using a 160mm IS to post adaptor?

So how'd you go and what did you end up mounting, front and back? Any chance of pics?

Rear were rear 160 IS to Post mounts but as they appear to have another 10mm to go so I've got 180mm rotors to go with the same Shimano M395 hydraulics brakes on order.
Interestingly the brakes that I bought came with 160 to 180 adaptors so I'll stack the brackets and see if the 180 rotors fit the front, otherwise it's a 160F/180R setup.
I've had a lot of success with cheap end Shimano brakes on several bikes albeit they are all 203F&R but the initial bite and feel is well worth it. Also helps buying one type of pads to service any bike.
Also if it hasn't been mentioned to check the fork as there has been reports that the forks do fail with big front rotors. New ones appear to be fixed this issue. Got one on order now with all the bits to convert a threaded to thread less headset.

SmellyTofu wrote:It's been slow progress unrelated to the brakes but firstly losing a c r c order with it finally arriving the 2nd time yesterday and now the fork I ordered somehow was cut by someone before being sent to me leaving me with 3mm or steerer tube to try putting a stem on which of course is impossible so another week lost before I can even start turning a pedal.
Bugger!
Well better luck to you this time.

I could have gone 203mm but for now, I'll bed the brakes in and see how goes. Upgraditus has been abated for now.

My brake upgrade is still in limbo, with my brake kits still in the box (and some yet to be ordered) but you've inspired me with this news, so maybe I'll get there a little sooner.
