Adapter?

[milky4130]

Hey guys, I'm sitting with a dilemma, only discovered this now when I Wanted to fit this brand new rigid fork. Can I get an adapter to solve my problem or am I stuffed? Thanks for the replies.

yes you can. It is called a Post Mount adaptor. It allows you to fit post mount brakes to an IS mount fork.

Schweet thanks guys. Just saw now Cwc has them For R25, hope it's Shimano compatible, those XON ones.

I think they are universal. You should not have any problems.

not quite: have to choose relative to the rotor size. Not all brands have the same size rotor when going above 160mm.

True

I manage to get one for R25 from CwC XON brand, fits perfectly to the fork now just need to install brakes etc.

Very true as i found out today.

So today I tried fitting this disk adapter the one I got from CWC,luckily it was only R25. It doesn't seem to fit perfectly despite it being the one most compatible for 160mm.

Seems like this one also XON would be more suited cause if you look at my first pic from my Reba RL the mountings look similar but CWC doesn't stock them any other suggestions?

Why didn't this work? What didn't quite fit?

This should work for the Reba, but not the rigid.

You sometimes need to add a few spacers here and there

i think Jc is onto something here. I Was thinking the same thing, will give it a bash.

probably would work on the Reba but I'm trying a move away from suspension forks.

It basically doesn't work cause it looks as if the top of the rotor is too close to the brake pad shoe/calipers & is therefore rubbing.

yep, a few spacers and you'll be golden. Just dont space it too far out. the brake pads mustn't rub on the arms of the rotors.
