    The only difference is when fitting them without an adaptor the rear uses a 20mm bigger rotor. So if you fit a rear to the front, then you need a 180mm rotor. If you put a front on a rear, then you either run a 140mm rotor, or you need a +20mm adaptor to run a 160mm rotor.

    Hope that’s clear!
