Have juicy caliper on fox IS fork running 160mm disc. Want to mount on post mount fok with same disc. Looks like it will just go on a post mount. (dont say try it as dont have forks until next week....wondering whether i need any adaptor before forks turn up).

I assuming it will just fit

cheers

You will need an adapter to go for post to I.S. only problem is you will need a 180mm rotor as well, i don't think anyone makes an adapter that allows you to run the same size rotor (but could be wrong)

A post mount caliper just bolts straight on to a post mount fork with no adaptor for a 160 disc

I have done this in the past and yes, if you are using a 160mm rotor you just leave off the adapter and mount the caliper and conical washers straight onto the fork.
