Changing Disc Rotor Size

Hello,
I currently run a Juicy 5 front disc with a 160mm rotor. I was thinking of changing the rotor to 185mm, will this fit the existing caliper i.e. can I just buy a rotor or will I need to buy a whole new 185mm set?

You`ll need to buy the new rotor and a new mount for the caliper. The type of mount is dependant on you fork and will either be Post mount or IS. You don`t need a new caliper.0

hi
i changed my front rotor 160 to 185 on juicey 3 ,needed an adapter the juicey 3 are post mount and the forks is mount so needed an adapter from 74mm(caliper)to 51 (fork)
hope this helps0 -
What's your fork btw? Because some forks do not support 185mm rotors.0
-
The fork is a Duke XC.0

Sorry, can't tell you weather it will support 185mm rotor.
Your fork is old.0 -
Yeah sorry can`t find much information on the fork. I suspect that it won`t take 185mm rotors.0

it will be fine with a 180/185 disc. IIRC it is ok for 200mm but need to check."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
