Right Ive got Avid Juicy carbon brakes on my bike at the moment which have 160mm rotors front and rear, but Ive just got some new Marzocchi mx pro eta forks which are post mount. The juicy calipers currently have a post mount to IS fitting on them as my current forks are IS. Do I need to buy an adaptor to fit the new forks or can I simply remove the one Im using at the moment? Therefore making it Post mount on the fork and Post mount on the caliper?

    if 160mm disc then bolt it straight on. using the adjusting washers.

    did you look at the sticky?

    I have now read the sticky, thank you kind sir.

    Although 1 question, is there a way I can run at 185mm rotor if I wanted to with this caliper/fork combination?

    Or is is just a choice of 160mm or 203mm?
