right ive always thought i have to go up a disc size if i want my is caliper on a post mount fork. But ive found a mount that allows me to fit a 160 is caliper to fork and run a 160mm rotor. Problem is my m4 caliper is a 180mm caliper. But as this just bolts to a standard is mount without adaptors size must be to do with the angles so will my caliper work in a 160 to 160 adaptor and keep same rotor do we think . Ta ๐Ÿ™‚

I will be surprised if it does, as post mount M4 calipers won't work on 160mm rotors. I have just looked at that mount, and I think your problem will be the caliper will hit the middle of it, I could be wrong?

well its a 180 caliper and i want to use a 180 rotor i guess im meaning are the holes in a 160 adaptor the same place as the holes in the 180 caliper. If so it might just work

Surely the holes would be in the same place as an IS fork, so it would still work with 180 disc, or am I missing something?

Sorry I miss read your post, I thought you were trying to run with a 160mm rotor. As it is a 180mm rotor, I guess it will be fine. So ignore everything I have written above ๐Ÿ˜ณ
