Anyone running an XT M775 160mm disc on the back of their slot dropout Inbred 26er?
I got some older-style Hope mono minis off a mate to put on my new SS Inbred, and with a 145mm disc / No.5 caliper on the rear the caliper body fouled the slot disc mounts and didn't fit. Also had a 185mm disc to hand so got a +40mm adaptor and that didn't fit either! Grrrr.... Called it a day before I went searching for a larger size caliper half as the Hope's were on successful-fit-or-return with said mate.
So, before I take advantage of the silly Ribble prices for XT brakes, can anyone confirm they've got them running on a slot disc mount Inbred with no issues? I've already got a choice of 160 rotors waiting to go.

I used old style LX on my old slot inbred with no isssues.
I fitted some last night to my slot drop 29er with no issues
[u]I have Post Mount M765's with a 160mm rotor/adaptor on mine[/u], wheel axle is about in the middle of the dropout.
If the wheel is much further back than the middle of the dropout you may end up having to use a 160mm adaptor and a 180mm rotor as the IS mounts don't have as much fore/aft movement as the dropout itself and I found the caliper didn't fit with a 140mm adaptor as it fouled the chainstay.
