Trying to get my head round this and a local LBS didnt help much. Ive been given a hope 183mm floating rotor by a friend . Now im trying to fit it to my front brake but the mount i have is far too big (a 203mm)
Brake im using is a Shimano Deore M596, can i use this mount on the front fork with out problems?

    So, if you're going from a 203mm to 183mm rotor, everything else is the same? you need a 183 mount like your current 203 one.

    What mount is on your fork? IS or post.

    Not changing anything else just dropping the rotor size, for is IS mount just rather miffed after todays outing so im wanting to make sure im getting the right bit.

    That link is the right part, others do it as well (like Superstar).
