Morning all, I'm just in the process of gathering together the parts that i'll need to build up a gravel bike, the frame and brakes will be of the flat mount variety and I want to use 160mm rotors.

Am I right in thinking that for the front I just need to flip the pre-installed plate that is already on the caliper, and for the back I'll need to purchase a 140-160mm adaptor?

Just don't want to pay for postage twice!

Thanks.

Which frame and fork is it? Some are now +20 as standard.

Yeah, check frame and fork. In my case, my fork was 160 already, my rear just needed an adaptor.

Kinesis Tripster AT, I'll check the Kinesis website and see if that provides any enlightenment.

Thanks.

Useful chart with measurements to work out which FM 'standard' your frame/fork uses here
