Hello there,

I have my brakes that are broken and I need to fix it as soon as possible because it's quite dangerous now. I'm breaking by putting a leg on the floor. Quite scary! :eek:

Here is my rear break:


The 2 parts of the calippers are separated and there is no way it can work.

I asked Conhismotor to send me a replacement brake because the bike is still under warranties:

The caliper is too short for my bike!!! I need an adaptor or something.

Here is another picture:


You can see the caliper doesn't fit.

Any idea where I can purchase either an adaptor, or another caliper to fix it on my bike? I tried on ebay but no one knows.

Can you use that white adapter plate that you already have? The one marked F:180/R:160

I tried, but if it fits the caliper it doesn't fit the bike:


And if it fits the bike it doesn't fit the caliper:


So it's definitely not the right size.

Theres a whole bunch of adapters here:

Disc Brake Adaptors

hmm.. I'm not sure if it'll fit or not..

If I buy it it may be wrong and I'll have to do another purchase.

I like to do my own repairs but for this I'd go to a bike shop, if they don't have the right bit then they will probably work out what to get.
