Paragon post caliper mount

Would it be possible to use this part:
“SRAM full mount/UDH post caliper mount, 160 rotor no miter”
for 180mm post mount? I have looked at the dimensions for where it needs to be placed for 180 and it seems like it would work but I’m curious if there’s something I’m missing? Thanks!

I would say unlikely as 180mm post mount sits further from the seat stay/dropout and would require longer “legs”. But a quick model or drawing would be able to confirm either way. Worst case you run an adapter.

Also, its worth including a link and/or picture with any question here. Will help with people giving answers and also for posterity’s sake. For anyone else This is the mount in question.

Thanks for posting the picture @bushtrucker . Yes that is the part I’m referring to!

I was in the process of designing a brake mount, so I threw those two 3D models (thanks Paragon for putting those on your website) together to see what happens. Here’s how they would look with a 16mm diameter seat stay.



You wouldn’t be cutting off a lot of the brake mount, but it looks like you would be able to use it for 180 post.

Wow! Thank you @Spencermon looks like it will work for my build!

Good luck. Make sure to post your results. I don’t know everything, but it doesn’t look like a ton of material attaching the brake mount to the seatstay. I hope it is rigid enough.

I was thinking I may add a small plate brace in the middle

I hacked up an IS mount and shoved it in that big open space. Should be plenty rigid now. I like how it looks too. Going to run an adapter and 200mm rotor on the rear.
