    It all depends on the brakes and the fork.

    For the front it could range from a bigger disc to a PS to PS 180 adaptor or none.


    Rear. Again I depends but a PS to IS 160 rear adaptor.

    Have read o the info in the FAQs or post up full info on brakes and fork.

    Full info would be mount type on fork AND frame - either post mount or IS. Look on park tools or FAQs to confirm what you have each end

    You'll need adapters like the following ones.

    Sorry but how do you know that? However likely. I have rebas and shimano brakes and that'd be useless for me.

    I read all of the posts in the thread.

    Can you explain why it would be useless.

    Thanks Cobba they are the correct ones, ordered the same adaptors but from superstar as theyre half the price, I should have done a little research really before asking the question as its pretty simple to work out what is required but all your replies are appreciated
