Just upgraded my forks to some Fox F100 which have a rear post mount brake fitting.
I currently have a Hope Mono Mini with an IS fitting with a 160 disc.
I know that I need an adapter but there seems to be issues with getting the correct one.
Questions are
1) Do I have to upgrade to a bigger disc when using an adapter i.e. 180 instead of 160?
2) If I don't have to should I anyway (£25 is for the new disc) on top of the adapter cost.
Thanks
Phil

Giant do a post to IS adapter that keeps a 160mm disk.
Personally, I'd go up to 180mm - it's makes a big difference to braking control, ime.

ok next question is do I need a 180 or 183 mm disc?

Most post mount adapters are a +20mm so if your original was 160 then a 180 will do it.
