Yes. You should be able to get adaptors to swap the brakes, or if it already has an adaptor for PM, simply remove it. Depending on the rotor size you may need an adaptor of sorts anyway.0

yes, you are quite right, they do seem to be in the minority; I couldn't find any on ebay.
see here
The caliper is post mount - like what you have, the list describes the fork fitting and disc size.
If you want to run 160 mm disc, it is the first in the list: Front 160mm IS - £6.99
iI you want 180 mm disc, then it is second in the list: Front 180mm IS - £6.99

But he is getting a pm fork - the caliper bolts directly for 160mm.0

exactly that. With an IS mount fork, run the adaptor and with a PM fork just don't use it, simples. Post Mount is far easier and a bit lighter too. A good idea IMOsupersonic wrote:But he is getting a pm fork - the caliper bolts directly for 160mm.0 -
a very bad Idea. a threaded part that cost so much.getonyourbike wrote:
