Im about to buy a new wheelset with brake discs and am away from my bike.
Does anyone have a 2011 Trance X3 (with avid elixir 3 brakes) and could please measure what size your brake discs are please? I think its 180mm front and 160mm rear but want to be sure!
Cheers.

(if you don't get an answer) its just a case of buying a new adaptor or disc, is there a reason you can't swap the disc rotors from the old wheelset to the new one you're looking at?0

It might be right, but specs can differ between countries.I don't do smileys.

They often have different sizes to what is specified on the Giant website. Mine had 160mm front, my mates identical 2011 Trance X3 bought two weeks earlier from the same shop came with 185mm front. It's not uncommon to have the smaller rotors, particularly on the small frames though mine was a large.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350

I got the bike from pauls cycles so hopefully they will be 185mm front and 160mm rear. Can check on the bike when Im home tomorrow.
I bought some Mavic XM719 wheels that came with Hope floating brake discs, 183mm front and 160mm rear.
The new wheelset comes with a 9 speed XT cassette fitted so will just have to swap it for my 10 speed.
Thanks for the quick replies.0
