Flat mount is new to me so I'm after confirmation of parts compatibility/ need before orders go in for a bike build.

Titus goldrush frame

Shimano grx rx400 rear caliper

Does a 160mm rotor fit the frame and do I need to also order a rear fm to fm +20 adapter in order for the caliper to fit the 160mm rotor?

Thanks

Depends on whether it’s a native 140 or 160 mount.

if the former, it needs the adaptor, if the latter, it bolts directly on.

Ha! Makes sense.

This one

I can't see of it says 140 or 160...I'm guessing 140 with no adapter.

The caliper is irrelevant, it's the frame that determines the native rotor size.

Pretty sure the gold rush is 160 without using a rear adapter

Have you got the frame yet? Hope website has some technical drawings that give you the measurements to confirm which type of mount the frame is
