Caliper upgrade
Anyone used the adapter plates to upgrade '84-'99 forks to the '00 and up calipers? Is any shimming needed?

same
Same question.
is it easier to get adapters or buy different (2000+) lower sliders?
and what about rear calipers?
Watching for this thread to develop.

If you replace the sliders, then you need a new axle, wheel, and rotors. I'm just using the adapters.

Ok.
I checked the Jireh catalogue and 4 piston brakes with pre-99 mounts are reasonable.
The way I'm going.
