as above 160mm

If Rockshox(SRAM) had made it direct 180mm post mount it'd have been a PITA to fit 185mm Avid(SRAM) rotors

Well, either way on Revs I'm sure some people will want to run 160mm discs.

But it's 2.5mm of washers 😉

5mm of conical washers?
If they made up the 5mm to run a 185mm rotor onto a 180mm lyrik, then you'd have to run a 165mm rotor on a post mount 160mm fork?

aye 2.5mm of conical to make up the difference to run a 185mm rotor on lyriks.

JAmes some forks have a minimum rotor size (like Lyriks do) not understanding what point you are trying to make.

I wanted to know if Revs were 180mm post mounts like lyriks are thats all
