Would appreciate guidance on converting post mount fork to take flat mount callipers. Can I use https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/brakes/trp-disc-brake-flat-mount-front-flat-to-post-160-mm/ ? Says it’s for flat brake mount to post calliper, so I expect it’s a possible no? 🤔

If not, what mount do I use? Wolf Tooth have one that adds 20mm to the rotor, and I want to keep the 160mm currently running.

No, traditionally you couldn't use that brake and mount combination but now there are some adapters but you will need to +20mm
There isn't physically enough space between the posts on a post mount to fit a flat mount caliper and adapter without adding the extra 20

Thanks. Seems a fork swap is necessary.
