Title: DIA COMPE FS880 CALIPER QUESTION
Post by: deeman on March 24, 2013, 02:51 PM

I would like to know if there is any fundamental difference between the front and a rear 880 caliper.I know the front is set up for potts mod.If I wanted to turn a front into a rear caliper would it simply be a case of reversing the adjusters/clamps?I basically need a rear 880 and was wondering if it was that simple?any help appreciated
