[Closed] Rotor not fitting in caliper

Hi guys,

I have a set of Lyrik 2017 forks and I am trying to fit a 180mm Avid rotor to the Guide RS brakes attached.

Looking online they are meant to be post mount so I shouldn't need a brake mount?

Is this correct as at the moment the rotor is hitting the back of the caliper and wont even allow me to put the front axle through so it seems like a mount would be needed?

Any advice appreciated, hoping to get it resolved tomorrow ready for the weekend!

My shimano brakes default to 160mm rotor and need adapters to use bigger rotors. SRAM must be similar so maybe look to see if they sell a 180mm adaptor?

Off the top of my head I think it is the 2018 onwards that take a 180mm rotor without a 20mm mount. I think you will need one but worth googling to double check.

Thanks guys. Just had a look online and think mine are 160mm PM. Would the below be the correct mount?

180mm option?

Looks like you dont get bolt either which is annoying. I will nip to my local DIY store and grab a few tomorrow.

Should come with bolts and washers.

Comes with bolts and washers. The bolts are different lengths to make it fit right

Looking at the reviews the ones from CRC come without!

Mine came from Chain Reaction in a Shimano pack with the long and short bolts and washers
