The Shimano Flat-Mount Disc Caliper Fixing Bolt secures Shimano flat-mount disc brake calipers to compatible frames, forks or flat-mount adapters. It holds the caliper in the correct position over the rotor within Shimano's flat-mount braking system.
Flat-mount systems use specific bolt lengths and configurations. The right bolt depends on the rotor size and on whether the caliper mounts to a frame, fork or adapter. The bolts are designed to give secure clamping force while keeping the caliper aligned over the rotor.
Correct installation torque is important for safe braking. Over-tightening can damage frame or fork threads. Under-tightening can let the caliper move and reduce braking efficiency.
