I've just bought a pair of the exotic 44.5 carbon disc only forks to go with my new Hope race X2 brakes . I want to run a 160 front rotor but hope say they don't do a adaptor that allows me to use a 160 rotor only a 180 .surly there must be an adaptor that allows this match to work ? I don't want to have to sell the forks and buy suspension forks just to use my front brakes .but I do want to use my 160 race light rotor ,can anyone help please ?
One of [url= http://clee-cycles.co.uk/esite/P1043/product ]these? [/url] It allows you to mount a 160mm IS brake to a post mount fork with no rotor size increase. Works on most (but not all) forks. Here's a pic of it on a RS Reba fork.

Hi dude the trouble is my forks are IS mount and my brake is post mount so opposite to yours
Take adaptor off. Job done.
IS fork to Post Mount Caliper? [url= http://clee-cycles.co.uk/esite/P1080/product ]here you go[/url] and in a range of snazzy colours..
Got it sorted with an adapter made by A to Z from winstanleys .its a IS to post mount 160 adapter that basically keeps the caliper in the same position as the fork mount so you can use a 160 rotor if that makes sence . At least that's what I've be told to fingers crossed it works
I'm not sure what all the fuss is. I thought IS fork to PM caliper adapters for 160 discs were pretty ubiquitous (given numerous IS forks and almost all calipers being PM nowadays). Wide variety available at any helf-decent shop. Using them front and rear on my bike (with 140 rear disc before anybody gets all clever).

must pay attention. 🙄
It' was just hope that didn't make a mount that alowed you to run a 160 rotor with that caliper unless the forks had a post mount and they thought I'd struggle to find one hence my post.-
