Do they take the same mounts as everyone else or do they have the marzocchi 20mm standard?

Yes. Std IS mount. The mount looks bigger because the upper one is canted back off the fork leg more.

And this can be a problem if you cant adjust the angle your hose exits the calliper as otherwise you end up with a large loop of hose down by the front wheel that catches in the undergrowth ๐Ÿ‘ฟ

BTW Why, when just about all forks and callipers are post mount now, is it still called an int. [i]standard[/i]?

Yeah, the IS on the Pikes is a pain in the ass. I've had to shim my XT caliper out so it doesn't foul my Hope rotor.
