I have 160mm RS Domain 318's and am about to buy the new Saint brakes, but what mounts do i need?
I know i can use the 200mm rotors, but i have the option of-
1) post>boxer (i'm thinking not
2) post>IS
3) post>post
Also, on the rear, any ideas what size rotor i could get away with on a HT (NS Surge) and again what mount i'll need?
Thanks

About the front it should be Post to post, Domains are post mount and most brake calipers are post mount. By the pictures I'm 90% sure you'll need post to post.
Others to confirm this?
Rear: for 185mm there should be enough room (160 looks small, 203 bit stupid imo, 185 spot on)0 -
ok kewl.
Yea i want 180mm on the rear but i think the adapter is o.o.s.
Want to buy them asap, before the price increases0 -
looked on RS's webby? it tells you."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

have a read, and then add an adaptor for disc size you want."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

At the rear I think all (most) frames are IS mount and the caliper woud be post mount.
So you'll need post to IS.
Like this one, I think.
