Hiya - buying a new XT groupset that comes with x2 180mm rotors and post mount calipers. It's to go on a new Commencal META HT frame that is IS and a 2015 Revelation fork.

What adaptor(s) do I need if any ?

I'd hope the front would be a straight fit but that's only if I had a 160mm presumably ?

Thx!

Correct, you will need a front 180mm shimano adaptor

Thank you very much cdoc. Ordered from High On Bikes at £6 each and £5 off by also buying tubes that I needed at the same price as CRC...
So net cost for both adapters £7...

Man maths at its best !

Shimano brakes used come with a 180 (+20mm) PM to PM on the front and 160mm IS to PM rear. Do they not anymore?

There's half a chance they'll come with the adaptors you need, but you won't know till they arrive.
