Shimano Tiagra disc brake won't fit
Hello guys ! I'm building a new bike to travel across France this summer but sadly I encountered my first of I believe many problem of building my own bike. I ordered Shimano tiagra 4770 disc brake but the front one doesn't fit on my fork. To explain it more I have the 160mm adapter that was delivered with the brake caliper (it is flat mount) but holes in the fork are like 5-10mm wider than the holes on the adapter which means that when I fit the upper screw, the hole in the adapter and in the fork don't match and I can't fix the other one. My fork and frame are from the brand cinelli and the model is called ZYDECO. It looks like it's the version from 2014 I believe.
And for the rear disc brake caliper I also have a problem. The fixation isn't located on the inside of the frame but on the outside. I ordered an adapter but I am pretty sure it will not fit properly as I got the frame in hand.
Do you guys have any information or advises for me please?
I will provide picture if you guys need them to help me just tell me what you need.
Thanks in advance

Sounds like you have a post mount frame which requires adapters to work with flat mount brakes.
