Hello  my frame should arrive in the coming days  :)

I want to order the last part, the disc brake. Did you guys had to use an adaptator to mount 160mm disc ? thanks

No adapter is necessary for 160 or 180cm brakes

Here's some pics. The storage solutions works very well.
What bag is that?

thanks but i dont understand how is this possible ? if 160mm is native on the frame and fork then we need 20mm adapter for 180mm ?

I guess it depends on your brake caliper system. Most nowadays come with the ability to have both 160 and 180 mm rotors by flipping the bracket one direction for 160 mm and the other way for 180 mm.

aahhh make sense thanks for the picture. OK so the frame is shipped with an adapter bracket that we can flip ^^

No, the brake manufacturer normally provide the adapter, not the frame manufacturer.

My FM336 is built up with a Shimano GRX 2x12 Di2 groupset. For the front brake, I had to turn around the pre-installed adapter at the front caliper to change from a 180 mm to a 160 mm brake disc.The rear brake caliper does not come with a pre-installed adapter, and you need a 160 mm disc in the back out of the box. I have to say I'd prefer 140 mm for the rear brake. My rear wheel locks up way before I ever hit maximum braking power, so I don't see any reason to go bigger than 140 mm. The same goes for the front rotor. A 140 mm front rotor would deliver absolutely enough braking power.
