[#769324]

Does anyone run a 160 juicy up front on a post mount fork? Does this mount directly without an adaptor?

The reason I ask is that the other half has a 160 tektro brake on the front of her bike. I also have an old 185 Avid rotor. What I'm wondering is if I got the Avid pot to post 185 adaptor [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=13717 ]like this[/url], would this allow me to use the tektro caliper with the 185 juicy rotor?

Ta.

160 runs with just the washer system on the front, not totally sure if it'll work with the avid mount, we sometimes get clearance problems with the tags on the pads fouling the mount when mixing different systems(and they're out of stock:).

Cheers for the info. You'r right, the link item is out of stock which is a pain but I just wondered if I could use the avid rotor (185) with the tektro caliper with just the addition of the avid adaptor. Still, for less than a tenner, I guess it's got to be worth a go!

I have one of those (160 post mount - 185 post mount) that I don't need - email me in the morning!
