Hi guys, I recently bought a pair of Avid Elixir 7's with 200mm rotor's both back and front, I'm currently building up a full suss project at the mo, but can't afford to do so quickly, as I still have my hard tail I was wondering would my new brakes fit onto my hard tail?

This is my old bike

All the spec is the same, bar the bar, pedals etc... but nothing that will compromise the front end or back.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks peeps! :D

    Yeah if you have the right mounts for your current forks and frame. Hoses may be a bit out length wise.

    I have 40mm post mounts in with the Avid's, hopefully will be right. Will check tomorrow if so! thanks :)

    The forks won't take 200mm (203mm I presume) discs, so stick with your old disc sizes with current adaptors.
    Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.
