Hi
I have some post mount tektro auriga disk brakes and i'm looking to put them on some IS mount forks. I can see many converters but none seem to be made by tektro. Have i not been looking hard enough or wll using another brands converters be sufficient? Are there any other options?
Thanks

    as far as my experience shows, you can use any adapters, find the cheapest ones you can. i fitted some hayes brakes with shimano adapters earlier. and i used an avd one for the rear too. all worked fine.

    Thanks, do you know if they go both ways i.e can be used to convert either Post or IS brakes

    and to answer your earlier brake adapter question , no , post and I.S. are not interchangable in that way.
    the forks determine the type of adapter , the rotor determines the size.
    if you get me drift.
