I thought you would need to go to 180 but.... http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=13743

Be prepared to have to buy a bigger rotor to allow fitting.

I have two calipers I could use - a Giant MPH or a Shimano Deore

Looks like the one I got when I swapped from IS to post with an old Hope caliper. +20mm on the rotor size confirmed I feel.

You will need to go up in size with the front disk - either 170mm (disc and adaptor from shimano) or 180mm - adaptors from Hope, Magura etc. I've got a 170mm XT disc and adaptor you can have, (or at least I think I have), lurking at the bottom of my box of bits. Let me know if you want them.
