Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Bluesky Threads I’m trying to install shimano BL-MT201 brakes onto my Trek fx2. The mount on my bike isn’t big enough to fit where the screws go on the brakes. Is there something I can do/buy to make it fit? Brakes are 160mm by aFuckingAsian Bicycling Bike Bike Repair Biking Cycling Repair

I think you need an adapter (or different variation of brakes).
