Front brake hardware

I understand how to set up front brakes with everything except the "adapter" for front brakes. When I look up anything close to that I cant seem to find it, nor can I find it sold on any websites. Im sure im just being stupid though. thanks

Might help to say what brakes you have. The exact part/model number really helps.

Most of the brakes I've installed didn't need any adapter. Are you putting disc brakes on something that wasn't made with disc brakes in mind?

Is this a disc brake caliper?

Perhaps look up "Mount Adapter" or "Post Mount Adapter".

If you upload some photos, there may be people that will give you suggestions of the correct adapter.

Come on man...more details or post photos. How on earth are we supposed to help when you post zero details?

Details are important. Don't make us cross examine you

It is quite stupid to not post any information. If you are going to be here and post you need to post information about whatever question you are asking. Posting things like "stuff or things?" or "I have things and there is stuff what do I do" is really just a waste and doesn't help you and certainly doesn't help us.

OP, you have ten posts so you can put up a pic and clarify a lot.
