• Versatile and Adjustable: IS mounts provide a versatile mounting option that allows for a range of rotor sizes and calliper positions. These mounts are widely used and offer reliable performance across different bike types.
• Adaptability: Ideal for riders looking to adjust their brake setup or switch between different rotor sizes.

Benefits of Upgrading Your Disc Mounts

Durable disc mounts withstand the stresses of aggressive riding and harsh environments, reducing the need for frequent replacements and maintenance.

Better Customisation

Quality disc mounts allow for better adjustment and customisation, enabling you to fine-tune your braking setup for specific riding styles and conditions.

Choosing the Right Disc Mounts

Check Compatibility

• Frame and Fork: Ensure the disc mounts you choose are compatible with your bike's frame and fork. Check the mounting type (Post or IS) and the rotor size your bike supports.
• Brake Callipers: Verify that the disc mounts are compatible with your brake callipers. This ensures a secure fit and optimal braking performance.

Consider Your Riding Style

• Cross-Country Riders: Lightweight and durable mounts that offer easy adjustments are ideal for cross-country trails.
• Downhill and Enduro Riders: Robust disc mounts that provide strong and reliable connections are essential for handling the rigours of aggressive downhill and enduro riding.

Maintenance Tips for Disc Mounts

Regular Inspection

Inspect your disc mounts regularly for signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Ensure all bolts are tight and secure to maintain optimal performance.

Proper Cleaning

Keep your disc mounts clean from dirt and debris. Regularly wipe down the mounts and surrounding areas to prevent any build-up that could affect performance.

Torque Settings

Follow the manufacturer's recommended torque settings when installing or adjusting your disc mounts. This ensures a secure fit and prevents damage to the components.

FAQs About Mountain Bike Disc Mounts

How do I know if my bike uses Post or IS mounts?

Can I switch between rotor sizes with the same disc mounts?

Yes, many disc mounts allow for adjustments to accommodate different rotor sizes. Ensure the mounts are designed for the range of sizes you plan to use.

What are the benefits of using adaptors with disc mounts?

Adaptors allow you to use different rotor sizes and caliper positions, providing greater flexibility in customising your braking setup.
