So I've been dinking around with my old Hayes 9s, trying to get them to work on my GFs hardtail. She's already got cable discs...
I'd swapped the discs and tried the whole Hayes setup, that didn't work, the left to right offset was wrong. Then I noticed that the thickness of the adapter for the rear would work for the front. I then learned that rear adapters don't work as fronts...
Turns out I should have just left the rotors alone, unbolted the calipers from the adapters already installed on the bike and just bolted on the Hayes calipers and Bob would have been my uncle last week.
What a dope. But they work now! I'm the man.
