Hi Andy,

DISASTER!!!

Seems I needed to order the IS adapter for the rear (noob school boy error!) and for some reason the front caliper don't wanna line up to the post mounts :evil: as it looks as though the front rotor (180mm) is too big Grrrrrr.

Yeah the fins do seem to slide in from the top and are separate. Shame I can't use them yet :thumbdown: - got so close too as it was the last bit to add!

You'll need an adapter for the larger front rotor too.

GGrr..Yeah getting the right adapters can be a pain.

So I assume you need a post to IS (180 mm ?) at rear.
(Ive got a few adapters kicking about but think they are all for 203mm size)

Is the front fork IS (like mine) ?. I think the caliper should fit straight on if the forks are IS BUT this will only be for a 160mm rotor, bigger rotots will need IS to IS adapter.

Heres pic of mine..as you can see it need quite big is to is adpter as my rotors are 203mm

Cheers Andy & Ian for your help.

The good news is the local bike shop had the front adapter - just gonna try it now so hopefully thats the fronts sorted now.

If you have the 180mm rear going spare Ian, there's another Toberlone in it for ya :D


Right, the front ones sorted :mrgreen: : (rear one shown below in case this helps you Ian to identify what I need to fit it!)

Are the rears 180mm too? I only have a 160mm one. I could try bike trax to see if they have one, I could pop it over tomorrow after the ride?
