quick question (novice alert)

hi guys

sorry i f this seem a daft question but we all need to start somewere,

here goes
i have an entry level xc bike (carrera vulcan) and im tryin to upgrade the forks (suntour)
ive seen a few sets about but all seem to be post mount, my suntour are IS mount.
now looking at my caliper it looks like it is a post mount caliper with a IS mount adapter
what i want to know is if i buy new forks with post mount threads will my caliper bolt straight on (taking away the IS adapter) or do i need some other adapter to fit?
oh i have the standard 160 mil rotor

thanks in advance and again sorry if it seems a silly question

ps, admin hope this post is in the right place.

Take away the adaptor and the caliper will fit directly onto the fork leg, just as you say.

thanks for the reply, ive let quite few bargins slip through my fingers because i thought i needed IS mount forks, so if i bolt straight on it will fit my disc?

So long as you keep to the standard 160mm.

As you are a self proclaimed beginner, what fork are you going to buy?

There is more than just the brake mount that needs to be taken into account!
