Hi,

I've got some Rockshox Tora 302's, Avid juicy 5's and 160mm rotors.

I need an adapter which I think might be this one (below). I just wanted someone to confirm this before I buy it - i don't want to waste my time sending stuff back and reordering etc.

Thanks for reading,

Richie.

P.S. If anyone knows of a cheaper place to get one - that'd be nice too!!

    unlikely.

    but want fitting does your fork have? and what about the brake? most come with adaptors fitted.

    pics of what you have.

    Ok, taken these photos, hope they are enough. What type of mount is this - PM or IS or neither?

    By the way, there aren't any threads inside the fork mounts, despite me having bolts hanging out - just holes (hope that makes sense).

    you will also need the CPS washers.

    I have got the bolts and washers, just not the adapter. I know that seems weird but I destroyed the thread on the adapter and I now can't find the adapter to compare when buying a new one.

    Sorry Nick, just to confirm. Is the adapter from CRC the one that i need? Also, is that an IS mount on my forks?

    I know I ask lots of questions.... unfortunately for me I have the disappointing personality trait of being quite thick!!!

    it will do as will any IS to post 160 adapter.

    Thanks for the help.

    You were right about my BB shell needing facing the other day by the way. I tried the Octalink BB in another 68mm shell bike, and it worked fine :(

    Save a few quid and get an adapter from Superstar. Choose Type 1 from the list:
