Can anyone please tell me which adapter I need for this BikeHut Disc Brake (Re-badged Diatech sports?)
It's post mount and need to attach it to IS fork with 160mm rotor. Am I right in thinking they use Avid or Hope adapters? (As Shimano ones I got don't fit)
Thanks.

Shimano adapter don't fit onto the caliper, I'm thinking they use Avid adapters but need confirmation before ordering one.0 -
Avid adaptors are the same spacing. Is the body of the adaptor fouling the caliper.?0

PM and IS are standards, so any 160mm adaptor will space the caliper just fine, though occasionally you can get an issue with the calliper clashing on the mount, a file usually sorts this just fine!Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0

The caliper is crashing on the mount, the spacing is fine for the bolts but the caliper shape means it pushes onthe mount so one end won't sit properly without loads of space on one side, fits fine on the Shimanos. Never had this problem before if using the correct mount for brake.0 -
