Nah, the fork is good. The fork has IS mounts.

I am contemplating rebuilding the wheel into a new disk hub, or getting a new wheel altogether.

But 203mm rotors all the way. I needed so much stopping distance today, was going in excess of 55km/h.

I had to do a longboard style footbreak to stop in time.
