Yes they will work, new brake adaptor needed.

They are not the latest model and over £100 more than you could have got the 2012s for last week.

These are cheaper too

There is an extra 10% when adding to the basket too, so really £250 at the moment.

I got a 120mm version from them last month for my Rockhopper comp 2011.

Go for 100mm for a RH. What brakes have you got, make and rotor size

Someone else will be able to help on the adapter as I'm not familiar with the dart fork.

The fork doesn't come with a pump, I got this from Halfords:

Turns out there is a 20% off sale too which brings it down to £19.99 in the basket. Looks like you're doing well here!

If you habe 160mm rotor, then you won't need any adapter, it will fit straight to the fork. If you have bigger rotor, then, you would need the correct size post mount to post mount mounting bracket.

Depends whether the Darts were IS or post mount.
