Getting a little bit confused here

Putting some Formula Oro Puros on my Supreme DH 2008

What hardware kit should I go for?

Was thinking about putting a 180 mm disc there, but the frame is post mount right, and the kits only sells the rear kit as IS mount!

Help me out here!

Frame is post mount?

i'm afraid you're wrong. The frame is IS mount.

The brakes will fit fine, and 180mm will be perfect.

Look at this, then perhaps edit your post ;-)



Ya, OK, I'm being smart arse at your expense ;-)

They changed them in 08, they're now postmount 200/203mm. So you'll need a bigger rotor and just bolt the caliper straight on, don't use the adaptor.

(If this turns out to be wrong, which it could be as i don't look after the DH end of things, sorry!)

[Damien]

Yeah....Thats what I started to suspect!

Thanks there Steve!

Help muchu appreciated!

Take care!

[Ant]

ok then... i am wrong... 

i thought it was.. 99% sure too!

[dicko]

yep Steve's right. Its def post mount 200/203
i made the mistake when changing my brakes and bought a 160 for the rear and had to change for a 203 - just bolts right on.

Yepp 200 bolt straight on, thou you can cut the mount down to allow for 180mm disc, but make sure you cut it straight. (I have done this on several Kona Stab's, fcuk warranties, I know what I'm doing!)
