Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is the QM12 compatible with all Magura brakes?
The QM12 is designed for specific mounting configurations. Please consult the Magura compatibility chart to ensure it matches your specific caliper and rotor size requirements.
Can I use this with non-Magura brake systems?
While the QM12 is a Magura product, it may be compatible with other systems if the mounting standards align, but it is optimized specifically for Magura geometry.
Does this adaptor come with mounting bolts?
Yes, the adaptor typically includes the necessary hardware for installation; however, always verify the contents of the package upon arrival.
What is the primary material used?
The QM12 is constructed from high-grade aluminum, chosen for its strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to heat-related deformation.
Do I need special tools for installation?
You will need a set of metric Allen keys (hex keys) and a torque wrench to ensure proper installation safety.
Troubleshooting
Brake pads are rubbing against the rotor
Check that the adaptor is securely tightened and that no debris is trapped between the adaptor and the frame/fork mount.
Brake caliper feels loose or vibrates under load
Verify that all mounting bolts are torqued to manufacturer specifications and use thread-locking compound if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the QM12, remove the original mounting hardware and ensure the mounting tabs on your frame or fork are clean and free of debris. Position the adaptor and secure it using the appropriate high-strength bolts. Always apply the correct torque specification according to your frame manufacturer's guidelines to prevent bolt failure or thread stripping. After installation, perform a stationary check by spinning the wheel and applying the brake to ensure the pads are aligned parallel to the rotor. Regularly inspect the adaptor bolts during routine maintenance to ensure they remain tight and free from corrosion.
