Howdy,
I've just bought a set of Shimano m775 XT disc brakes with 160mm rotors for my 08 Rockhopper (like this http://www.specialized.com/OA_MEDIA/200 ... _SW_KL.jpg) , trouble is they didn't come with any mounts.
I've got a set of Reba World Cup forks on the front (like this one http://www.bikeradar.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=16240132.)
Don't really know which ones to get but have an idea, can anyone confirm?
I believe the shocks are post mount and the rear is IS mount so assuming this is correct can someone look at this CRC page and tell me what I should buy?

so what fitting are the calipers?"Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Not sure, pics of the ones I won are here can't really tell though

nothing needed for the front.
Post to IS 160 rear needed for the rear."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Someone else said I needed the Front Post to IS 160mm adaptor, are you sure I don't need anything for the front shocks?0

the caliper you showed is Post mount. the fork is post mount. together they fit and need a 160mm disc.agg25 wrote:Someone else said I needed the Front Post to IS 160mm adaptor, are you sure I don't need anything for the front shocks?

OK thanks for confirming that, you're alright ;-)0

Isn't the Reba World Cup from before they changed the lowers? In that case I believe you would need a PM to IS adapter.0

possible but going on what the OP has written and I would hope that the OP can tell that the fork brake mounts are different to the frame mounts and have said the fork is Post mount even though the link is to an IS mount fork. ( not new so could have had lowers replace= may not even be that fork but another with stickers on it.........
so its a 50/50 chance."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Yeah I wasn't sure if it was post or IS on the front shock or not, hence the "believe". But yeah, I'm pretty sure I do need the adaptor for the front as well, cheers guys.0
