Disc Brake Question
I have some Shimano R785 shifters. They came with post mount brakes but now am wanting to put it on a bike that had flat mount brakes.
Can I use R785 shifters with flat mount brake calipers (Think Ultegra)?
Thanks!

I’m going to go on record predicting that this will be the shortest thread EVER about disk breaks on the Interwebz. When I saw the thread title I ran to make popcorn. I thought the follow-up sentence/question would be (a) will I notice a difference between rims and disks (b) do I really need hydraulic vs cable actuated (c) I’m thinking about upgrading my bike to disk.... but cx gave a definitive answer on the first replay with a thumbs up. End of thread.

Are you starting trouble here?

don't be so quick to assume it's over for this one - This forum is very capable of turning something simple into a run on stream of points and counter points that drift from technical minutia to grammar and punctuation.....I predict this horse aint dead yet.

Shouldn't you be starting a sentence with a capital letter?

LMAO. Things start slowing down this time of year in the northern hemisphere so we gotta keep the traffic active. I was glad to see that Srode used the proper plural form of minutia instead of the singular noun minutiae. I would've been all over him for that.
