Hi

Can never figure these out! Running a 100mm Fox fork with Hope Mono Minis, pic here http://sdrv.ms/1apbOlC

Have choice of disks, 185mm in picture but 160mm is fine.

any idea what adapter I need? If you have one for sale let me know or please post a link to one.

Cheers

Aaron

Thanks, would this be it?

the thing I find confusing is that the holes are threaded, my fork is threaded as is the caliper, I would have thought clearance holes would be better?

Can't see why it should be threaded. Surely you'll need a bit of movement to line it up as you said. But I've never used Post to IS so I could be wrong.

if you wish to go for a 160mm rotor you'll need the kcnc one

If you don't want to go up in rotor size then the [url= http://clee-cycles.co.uk/esite/P1043/product ]clee cycles[/url] KCNC adaptor allows you to fit IS brakes to a Post mount fork with no change in rotor size.

This is a set of 180mm Mono Mini's fitted to a RS fork. No change in rotor required.

thread update, tried the +20mm CRC one http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/hope-mount-adaptor-front-is-to-post-20mm/rp-prod13735
and you would need a 200mm disc, bought for a fiver off here so if anyone needs it let me know!

Went for the Clee one as recommended by bigG and fits perfectly with the 180mm disk that I have on the bike, don't really understand why a 160mm wont work but hey ho got the bike running again!

Now all I need to sort out is the disc rubbing on the fork!!!
