Is this the right rear set up for Magura MT7?

[MrMparmpounis]

Hi everyone,

I am a new to the world of e bikes. I have been riding motorbikes though for many years and the "virus" of customizing and adding better parts is also expressed on the EMTB now

Having said that, I have recently installed a set of Magura MT7 on my Santa cruz 2023 Heckler S MX. 220 Front and 203 back setup. However, I feel like the rear is a bit soft so far. I have not bed the pads yet properly.
On the official website of Santa cruz they say that I need a 1.5mm adapter for the rear (it can host a 200mm rotor). However, the bolts where I have mounted the calipers come with a ring/adapter (dark color in the picture). Is that the right setup or should I remove the silver adapter (the extra 1.5mm)?
Also in the front I have maintained the ring/adapter on the bolt.

So far the front is like a anker , however I feel the rear is a bit "soft"

I would appreciate your help here!

If you’re running 203mm you need to have your 1.5mm washers under the caliper, not over it.

Oh thank you for the tip. So that means I need the silver adapter . I will change it and hopefully it improves.
