I'm wanting to fit a giant MPH disk brake to my Marzocchi mx pro sl fork which has a post mount - what sort of adapter should I be looking for? I know the giant brake has a 165mm rotor

Any help would be appreciated

cheers
Neil.

    you will need a bigger 185mm disc and a post to IS adaptor. look on A2Z webby or CRC's

    this A2Z one will allow a disc increase of 20mm 0r 25mm AD-PMF74

    Ive got the same problem. Ive got 'Zocchi MZ Super comp forks which are post mount. Ive got Juicy 3's. When i get my Revelations i will need an adapter cos the RS's are IS. Will i need a bigger rotor?

    No, you'll be fine, just get the correct adaptor.

    ok let me get this right..... I'm looking for an adapter to fit a 54mm standard caliper to a 74mm post?

    nope 51mm caliper (IS) to a 74mm (post) fork.

    but you will need a bigger disc.
