Avid juicy 5 mount?

[Elvis]

Just wanted to know the difference between an IS mount and Post mount on Juicy 5's? Anybody

[Daxiet]

Nope, got nothing to do with the caliper, just with the fork.

 

IS mount requires an adapter that mounts to the fork then the caliper to the adapter.

 

Post mount the caliper is bolted directly to the fork thuse negating a need for an adapter, unless you want to run rotors > 160mm then you need an adapter for Post mount as well.

 

So in short Juicy's will work on IS or Post. If you go IS get the 160mm adapter.

Thnx, but which one do I buy? I use a Rock Shox Sid air XC.

hey dudes, what's an IS mount and a post mount?  

[Matchstix]

IS mount is the disc brakes that gets bolted on from the side and is usually adjusted with shims.

Post mount is bolted on from the back and is  more easily adjusted since it allows left and right movement for adjustment.

This is a post mount

and this is IS (international Standard)
