  • Will not fiterror · ForkFront brake mount: Shimano XT BR-M8110 (flat mount, rear) is a Flat mount caliper and RockShox 35 Gold RL has a Post mount - two different mounting standards, so the caliper does not bolt on as it is. A post-mount-to-flat-mount adapter exists; it only steps the rotor size up (+20mm) and needs sufficient boss clearance. A shim or adapter may make other sizes or standards work, but that is a modification, not a fit. On 3 of the 490 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.

4 further fields the checker looks for are not published by Shimano, so we leave them blank rather than estimate them, and those 4 checks stay silent on this front brake. They are excludes rotor, maximum rotor evidence, design rotor thickness and design rotor thickness maximum. Each is recorded as “not stated by the maker (not checked)”.

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 1862 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.
