I want to upgrade my Juicy 5 to Formula's The One (just the front brake for now). I have just a few questions about this:

1) I have a 203mm rotor on the juicy 5 at the mo, im guessing that I cant but just the brake without the rotor and mount, and it will fit onto the existing 203mm rotor?

2) If the previous answer is no, what mount will I need for a fox 36 van r (2008)

Many Thanks! :D

    the caliper will just bolt straight on in theory. Formula do make a bracket that is guarantied to work with the One. But i do not see the need for it.

    i should say that you will not need the power of the 203mm disc. a 185 would be better.

    hmmmm well it may not matter actually. I cant seem to find just the brake (without rotor etc) on the cyclesportsuk website. The price of just the brake on CRC is £160, but I could get the brake with 200mm rotor and mount for the same price on cyclesports.

    Just to confirm, will I need IS or post mounts?
