this image will explain it perfectly, incidentally the post mounts pictured in this pic is that of a manitou.

so the problem is, my calipers are compatible wid IS mounts and not post mounts, so i have to fabricate an adapter, which i already have, but i messed up in a certain area, gotta get back to the drawing board !!!

Where do you normally get these parts.. do you have stores which stock them..??
