Shimano disc brakes - am I going to need some extra bolts??

[Kermit power]

Morning all,

I've bought some new XT discs, and my old Deore discs are moving to my son's bike. Annoyingly, I've managed to lose one of the little packs of bolts, olives and so on which came with my new brakes.

Question is, am I going to need to actually buy any new ones? I'm wondering this as I'm making some changes on rotor sizes as well, and am not sure what they come with...

My old setup = Post mount front and IS rear with 160mm rotors both ends (so I've got all the bolts for those).

My new setup = 180mm post mount on the front. Will that come with longer bolts anyway? If so, I guess I just use the one pack of new ones I've got to mount the rear, and the new bolts on the front?

Have you got spacers to change to 180mm. I would expect that longer bolts would be part of that kit.

Shimano 160 to 180mm adaptors should come with the bolts.


Bargin!

Oh sodding hell!! It never occurred to me to even look to see if the XTR ones would be cheaper than the standard ones!!!

ETA - Just ordered a pair of those along with some new pedals, so the others can go straight back when these arrive!
