Levo SL Gen 1 Fox 36 on Levo SL...what brake adapter?

[gbarfoot]

In trying to install a 2021 fox 36 ebike fork (44mm offset) on a levo SL comp. The brake does not align anymore. Any idea of what brake adapter I might need?
Thanks

If you have a 180 mm rotor you will not an adapter, if you have a 160 mm rotor it will not work as the fork is made to use a 180 mm rotor with no adapter. What size rotor do you have on the SL?

200mm rotor. The mount that was used on the stock fox 34 places the caliper off of the rotor so the pads are not making full contact

You need a 20mm post mount.

New to the MTB scene, after some research on rotor size vs fork lugs this makes sense. Got a 20mm adapter and all is good

Might be worth checking how deep the Allen screws go into the fork leg mount. At least 10mm is recommended on my Fox 36 but the ones that came with the new post mount don’t go that far so I need to change.
