Can you get a mount for the above, I've got a IS mount Clarkes brake and IS mount DMR Trailstar frame, the caliper won't quite fit without an adapter but I can't find an IS - IS adapter for a 160mm rotor

    If the calliper is for a 160mm disc you do not need an adaptor.

    BUT the clarks may need a 150mm disc.

    Pics to see how it looks.

    It's a six pot caliper which came with 8" rotors and adapters to fit so I don't know what the caliper would fit without the adapter but 150mm is probably right judging by the offset.

    I was thinking it would be easier to just get a 7" rotor and adapter but wouldn't it always be wonky if the caliper is for a 150mm disc?
