good evening all

After recently having my spesh fsr stolen (thankyou very much you git) instead of spending a fortune ive decided to dust off a old and fav workhorse of mine a Scott G-Zero pro team (the silver and blue one), after dragging it out the loft i need a few new bits ect, ive looked at specing these and just would like to know if any one knows why they wouldnt fit
Shimano MT15 rear disc wheel
XT M770 9 speed cassette
avid elixir 1 disc brakes

im pretty sure this will get it back up and running but if anyone can give me an idea of a rotor size or how to tell what size you need id be gratefull
and iff any one can reccommend a air shock thats compatble with the frame it would be useful

many thanks

steve

    most things will fit.

    it you get the right bits if need to make then fit.

    if you need more info give specifics.

    well what i need is a new rear wheel and cassette, as thats why i put it into retirement before, as most of the wheels are discs thought id get one too,

    need a 26 in rear wheel, 9 speed cassette, and then a disc brake that will fit the frame it has disc brake mounts on the frame

    any size could fit. but you should be looking at a 160 or a 180.

    just buy what you need to fit what you want.
