I've got some XTs on the way, and I have another set of wheels that I'm thinking of using, which have what I think are 160mm rotors on them. Will I need an adaptor for the callipers?

The current wheels have 180/203 rotors, which is probably overkill, plus they're knackered.

if frame and fork are both PM then you won;t need any adapters to run 160mm - it's the 'default' rotor size.

If you've got any IS in the mix then you will.

Of course, they're post mount aren't they, and my frame/forks aren't. Balls.

Can I use Avid adaptors? I may have some knocking around.
