    XTR rear caliper

    If your caliper is an M975-R, then it looks like the available adaptors will suit only 140mm-180mm/140mm-203mm conversions. http://bike.shimano.com/media/techdocs/content/cycle/EV/bikecomponents/BR/EV-BR-M975-R-2614_v1_m56577569830609101.pdf

    Bring On Winter.

    Amen to that. Peaked at 39 degrees today here in Perth, 10 degrees above average. That said, it's gotta be better than the carnage across Europe at the mo.
