Got a set of Rock Shox SIDs, post mount and a Hope Mono Mini IS caliper. Is there an adaptor that I can use that'll avoid having to up-size my rotor from 160 to 183?

A2Z seem to suggest they might have one, but it's not clear? Will a Shimano one only allow a 180mm rotor?

Cheers

P.S And if I have to upgrade my rotor, are floating rotors worth the extra???

Says this on the ebay advert..

How it Works:

If you're original rotor diameter is 160/165mm by adding the A2Z ISPM-160 adaptor to your fork will allow you to run your rotor at the current size 160/165mm so you do not have to Buy a new Caliper/Caliper Half.

I bought a Hope one recently for the same problem, with that one I had to up the rotor, but I was doing that anyhow, the probelm I have is there isno direct path to the upper Post mount bolt, making setup tricky..
