just upgraded my forks to ones with post mounts, but seeing as my current forks have IS mounts i need a new adapter. question i have magura brakes with post mounts and a 180mm front rotor so do i have to have a magura mount or can i se a similar moyunt from shimano, hope etc as these are cheaper than the magura one

what fork?
what brake?
generally any Post 160 to Post 180 will work.
But some brakes need special adapters.
and magura can be on of them.
or buy any adapter and take a file to it if required."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

oh sorry lol
the forks are 2010 rockshox revelations and the brakes are 2007 magura louises. i know the rev's have a 160 pm but surely as the Pm standard is, well, a standard, any mount should work :?0 -
yes it is standard in the area of the mounts. but the space between is not part.
so like some Magura brakes have the pad tabs that get in the way of some adapters.
just need to have a look at the brakes."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

the magura 180 front post mount adaptor looks just like the shimano one.
