The Shimano SM-MA-R160 P/S is a rear disc brake adapter designed to mount a Post Mount brake caliper onto an International Standard frame mount for use with a 160 mm brake rotor.
Key Features
Construction and Design
The adapter is made from durable metal and positions the brake caliper at the correct height in relation to a 160 mm rotor. Its compact shape is designed for installation at the rear of the bicycle frame.
Main Functions
The component connects a Post Mount brake caliper to International Standard mounting points on the frame. Correct positioning allows the brake pads to contact the rotor braking surface evenly.

Additional Features
The installation direction marked on the adapter must be followed during assembly. After installation, the brake caliper should be centred, rotor clearance checked and all mounting bolts tightened to the specified torque.
Summary
The Shimano SM-MA-R160 P/S adapter is intended for bicycles requiring a rear Post Mount brake caliper to be fitted to an International Standard frame mount. It is suitable for installing, repairing or upgrading disc brake systems that use a 160 mm rotor.
