IS adapter for Marz. Z3 LT and Deore Hyd. Brake(6 posts)

IS adapter for Marz. Z3 LT and Deore Hyd. BrakeJames
Mar 22, 2003 3:17 PM
Ok so I got a FR Deore disc brake. So figuring a Internation Standard was a uh...standard and all I was suprised to see the holes for mounting don't line up. There is about a 1cm diff. Does anyone know the adapter type I would be looking for? I've gone through the list here and can't find any concrete info: http://www.bikeman.com/catalog/brakediscadapter.htm

I have a Marzocchi Z3 Long Travel (99 or 00 I can't rememeber but the LT was only one year.), the brake is a Deore hydraulic front.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
You need to get a Marz adapter me thinks....Monte

Earlier Marz forks didn't come with a disc brake mount it seems. You'll need to find one of those for your fork. I can't remember where I found mine, but it was around $25. Once you've got that mounted your Deore's should mount right up. That adapter isn't part of the Int'l Standard, it's Marz all the way.

That fork DOES have disc tabs,it's just they are the old Formula standard (48-49mm).You need an adapter(of course)to change it to the IS 51mm.Damned if i know where you can find 1 of thoses,sorry.

Ya that sounds about right. Seems to be about the much of a diff. The mounts are there but there short. Ok well it's a starting point!
