Front Disc Calliper Mounting.

Hi

I am thinking of changing my forks and wanted some advice about brake calliper mounting.

I currently use IS mounts and the forks I am looking at are post mount. Can I use my existing calliper without the IS mount or will I need a new one?

Cheers

If your calipers are postmount, with an IS adaptor, you simply remove the adaptor (for 160mm rotors).

If you want to use a big rotor ypou need a larger post - post adaptor.

This does not apply to some DH forks.

I have Avid Juicy 5 brakes with 185mm front rotor. They are on an adapter so sounds like they would fit?

well you will need to get the correct adaptor.
