I've bought some second hand Marzocchi forks for my daughters bike as the original RST's weren't upto much,,,the forks seem fine except the brake mounts are different...Someone please tell me there is an adapter for this and i haven't wasted my money...Thanks

I think this will do it (note that other online and real-world retailers exist):

For future reference (in case anyone else reads this thread) the left hand (white) fork is 'Post mount'. The right hand (black) fork is IS mount. I remember which is which because Post mount goes into the post of the fork. crappy remembering method but it works.

Hi, i recently made the same swap - used [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=13735 ]this[/url] adaptor which does mean you need to get a 20mm bigger disc rotor - there is one (by kcnc) that will allow some brake calipers to work with the same rotor but it seems like a lot of folk have had not luck with it
