Disk brake bracket help!

[bumrar]

Hi all, Im looking at upgrading my front brake from a 6" disk to an 8" one. The forks are rock shox tora and the brakes are hayes stroker trail. can anyone tell me which bracket I would need to do this? and where to get it from?

Many thanks

A quick search tells me a Tora comes with an IS mount on the fork leg & the Stroker Trail is a 74mm Post Mount.

Therefore you need an 8" IS to PM adapter, found here:

With the Tora, as its a QR fork, you need the QR mount.

IMO its also worth checking if the Tora can cope with an 8" rotor & the increased forces it will create. Personally, I wouldn't want to run a 203mm rotor on anything other than a 20mm fork.

This should do the trick:

use one myself on my RS Revelations and HFX9s (abet the 7" version)

EDIT: beaten to it Still, at least we agree on the same adapter! And according to RS's website:

you'll be fine with an 8" rotor
