Will not fit

  • Will not fiterror · Front RotorFront rotor too big for the caliper as recorded here: 180mm is larger than 160mm, the largest rotor size this catalog records for the TRP Hylex (Flat Mount) caliper. The caliper maker's own rotor chart is the place to check. The flat-mount system has no size-up bracket, so no adapter can step it up. On 6 of the 30 verified rotors in this catalog. Applies to 1 of 2 variants.

  • Will not fiterror · ForkFront brake mount: TRP Hylex (Post Mount) is a post-mount caliper and RockShox Rudy Ultimate XPLR has a flat mount - two different mounting standards, so the caliper does not bolt on as it is. The part that bridges them is a rotor-size-specific flat-mount-to-post-mount adapter. A shim or adapter may make other sizes or standards work, but that is a modification, not a fit. On 2 of the 30 verified forks in this catalog. Applies to 1 of 2 variants.

The checker compares the dimensions listed in what we check, and what we don’t. “No conflicts found” means no conflict among those dimensions — not a guarantee that a build works. Errors mean it won’t fit; warnings mean it works but check; infos are notes.

Checked against

The checker ran this model against every verified part below that it has a slot for, the same way it checks a build in the builder. What follows is the verdict it actually produced for that specific pairing — not a recommendation, and not a guarantee any of these parts fits your own bike.

6 of 481 counterparts with a page of their own that the checker actually probed this model against, in alphabetical order by brand and model — never by price, popularity or the verdict itself.
