Morning!

So, added new forks and I've realised the mount points are quite different on the 22 vs the 21 Fox Float. So, whilst the front now feels awesome, I have no front brake bite...or v little!!

Can anyone just help me identify the right part please. The new fork has two identical mount points, the old one had a reduced one at the bottom, the result is that the brake caliper is being held too far away and only biting about 40% of the pad surface if I add the old adapter.

If anyone knows if I've ordered the right part I'd be v grateful... 🙏

Are the new forks 200mm rotor direct mount and your old ones were 180mm rotor and needed a 20mm adapter?
Or
160mm rotor and needed 20mm adapter to 180??

This was the correct one - even th shop didn't know, but I took it anyway and its spot on. If you get one, it MUST have the new long and short(er) bolts supplied as they've change how they connect, ie: not 4 bolts
Not sure on the old ones as they had an adapter from new. I know the new one is 180 direct. I'm running 203s and the adapter sorts that.
