ive just replaced my dart 2 forks for a set of revelations. ive managed to fit the fork ok but i pressume i need an IS adapter or something for the brake caliper because the caliper bolt holes are in the front where the pads come out and the fork mounting holes are 90 degrees to this if that makes sense. is this right?
if this is right when i go to the lbs what do i need to ask for? and is there different sizes etc for different size rotors, im running a 160mm on the front?

    so you know what mounts you have now.

    what brakes do you have? what fitting are they? is there an adaptor?

    so what fitting are the brakes?
    which Roots they have done more than one version.

    or just take pics so we can see.

    Ok i am guessing the revs are not new? and have IS mounts. and as you have a 160 disc i guess the brakes are Post mount?

    if the above is correct you need an IS (fork) to Post (caliper) front 160 adaptor.
