I have some is mount forks and am getting some new post mount forks, running hope v4 caliper with 160mm rotor wwhat if any adapter will be required? cheers
the infamous +0 Post to IS mount I think, made of rocking horse shit and unicorn jizz. After that a 180mm rotor and a Post to IS +20
ahh so if i understand your sarcasm correctly the caliper will mount direct to new post mount fork without any adapter and be fine with 160mm rotor? what if I wanted to run a 140mm rotor? tough titty?
Not quite, there are some +0 mounts which will do IS to Post with no rotor increase. I assume it's a base 160mm caliper on IS? If so there is the option of the +0 if you can find it (google it) then after that the next one is a +20mm conversion.

ok so the forks I will be using are post mount! the calipers are post mount! the rotor is 160mm!
will this all simply work without any additional mounts?
forget the is to post! that's not what I need to know.
I have ordered some new forks and need to know if I can just bolt the caliper staright on to the fork
Ah that would be the critical bit of info missing from the first post!
There are 2 post standards but the other one is very obscure these days.

Yes you can (- probably, unless your new forks are designed to take a minimum of 180 PM - what forks are they?)
dt swiss exm 130 so not totally new, but new to me.

Yes then 😀
And you can't run 140mm rotors on the front of any mountain bike these days. Nor on the rear of most, as post mount gets more common.
