post mount to IS conversion?

[johnathan]

Right final spec of my new bike is nearly sorted however i hit one problem the brakes i would like only come in stanadard IS mounting thats fine for the back apart from the front (as im running monsters) i have a postmount, is there any conversion kits availible to change a post mount into an IS or not?

I know of one thing you can do which is buy an adapter and 225mm rotor from hope which I think is just stupid, Im in the same situation btw.

There are adaptors to fit, but must increase the size of your front rotor to make it work.
What brakes are you looking to run?

[Kye]

are you running hopes or shimano, Most brakes will just fit right onto a post mount, whil if its a hope you need to replace the half caliper for a standard size. If its a shimano your s.o.l.

im hoping to run gator brake 8 pistons the hope adaptor would be ok apart from the rotors that come with it are titanium coated stainless steel and i would say they have been develpoed specifically for the brake and running any other may affect perfromance?

[johnathan]

Right i have had an idea im not sure if it will work so i would appreciate if someone could check this for me. The gatorbrake comes with an adaptor which looks to be of similair size to the hope adaptor so would i be able to interchange the hope adaptor with the one currently on the brake or not?
