Avid CPS Caliper Adapter
Avid offers two different calipers for the Elixir and Code disc brakes: standard calipers and CPS calipers.
The standard calipers are bolted directly between the fork and frame without any additional washers.
The adapters for Avid disc brakes with the CPS caliper. These calipers are additionally mounted with tapered washers between the adapter and the caliper.
Compatible with Avid CPS calipers
- Forks with IS 2000 mount, 160 mm disc size
