|   Do I need adaptor to mount Shimano disc brakes on Manitou? | SFrider
Apr 4, 2002 10:22 AM | | I have a Manitou X-Vert Air and was wondering if I need an adaptor to mount my Shimano XT Disc brakes (currently on a Rock Shox SID SL) on it. Also, I am considering Formula Activa mechanical disc brakes, would I need an adaptor for those. Has anyone had experience with Formula Activa disc brakes? Thanks |

| You need the larger rotor too | Nor'Easter
