What mounts does the fork have? IS or post?

And what about your discs?

You have an IS fork and PM caliper, with an adaptor for a 160mm rotor.

You need this if you want to run a 185mm rotor:

Thanks are you sure yeah i did look in faq see the diagrams and is this easy to do yourself

Very easy to do, all you need is a 5mm allen key, and whatever holds your rotors on.

SRAM will have setup instructions for the Avids.

The mount doesnt come with any bolts can i use the bolts that are on the caliper or do i have to get extra bolts.

You can just use the existing bolts.

Don't brake too aggressively with the bigger rotor, it might pull your wheel off.
