Got a set of Formula Oro K18s form my Carbon 456 that came with 180mm discs. I need to fit them to my Rockshox Revs but didn't get a 180mm front adaptor. Is this the one I need?

Problem is, it was due back in stock in CRC today but they've now revised the date to the 28th.
Can I use any other adaptors and if so, can someone please point me in the right direction please?
Cheers

    What brake mount does your Revs have? Post or IS mount?

    That adaptor is fine if you have post mounts, if they are IS it is useless and you want http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... elID=64796

    yes you can use any Post 6" to Post adaptor for 180mm or longer bolts and some washers/spacers till they come in stock.

    Look for some Diatec adaptors. or any other on CRC.

    Cheers guys.

    The Revs are post mount so would the 180 PM version of this work ok then?

    AFAIK, all shimano brakes are post mount, so by Front 160mm IS, what they mean is that it's an adapter to fit a post mount calliper to an IS mount fork, to accept a 160mm rotor.

    The shape of some sizes of Shimano adapters doesn't play nice wit hAvid Juicy brake pad tabs though, I have no idea if the problem occurs with other brakes.

    So the 4th one down (Front 180mm Post) should hopefully allow me to fit a post mount caliper to a post mount fork with a 180mm disc?
    I've ordered one anyway, for 6 odd quid it's worth a punt and if it's not right, I'll send it back and wait for the Formula one to come into stock

    Deezer-D, that is correct.

    Nick, I've never come across an Is Shimano calliper, were they OEM only or something?
