How much room do you have in the front?

I didn't measure but looks to be plenty of room.

Hope it's more than the plus tires in the rear, no bueno

Oh yeah.... nothing like that
I just realized the rear brake mount on the frame is flat. Does the caliper just screw on to this or does it need an adaptor?
Next time I go out to the garage, I am going to see if the brake caliper will mount directly on the frame.

You need the right adapters, aren't they similar to your hightower

Totally different
Doesn't this look like it mounts directly to the frame?

Dammit! Rear brake hose is too short!

Rotor size? Looks weird.

Rotor size? Looks weird.

160
Yeah... its not the traditional placement. The mount is inside the triangle

 

[Patrick]

Maybe the angle. Looks like the rotor is half way into the pads.

 

[Paul H]

How will I feel seeing this every time I ride the RDO?

 

[Juggernaut]

That rotor looks too small for that caliper setup

 

[jklett]

Looks like the piston is centered over the rotor, probably just the finned pads making it look off.

 

[Mathers]

No don't look at those they are terrible!!! You want a Specialized or Trek!!
