Do you know what adapter is required for the front?

Front depends on the fork. Older forks had native PM 160 mm so you needed a PM 160 to 180 or 203. Newer (2015 onwards) Fox 36 and some other forks now feature a native 180 mm post mount, meaning that you'd need the same adapter as the rear (180 to 203 or 180 to 200) depending on which rotor size you're running.

Ok thanks, i have the fox 34 rhythm and i think im going to buy saints brakes and pair them with a 203mm ice tech rotor.
 
Seems the 34 Rhythm has the regular 160 PM, so just get an adapter for 160 -> 203. As far as rotors go, if you're going to have H03C finned brake pads in Saint (and they come stock), I'd maybe rather go with RT-76 XT rotor than the RT-86 ice tech. Ice tech comes thinner as standard (I've measured several below 1,80 mm when new) and they have the added risk of splitting when hit by a rock since they're a sandwich construction.

I'm currently running D02S non-vented metal brake pads with Saint and a RT-76 203 rotor on the front and rear - no overheating, no squeeling etc. I've got H03C ready for the "summer" temps. Basically, I'd save money and go with RT-76.

If you're on centerlock instead of 6-bolt, disregard all the RT-blabla, since there the ice-tech is RT99 and the non-ice tech is I don't even know :P

Thanks ive had a look and the forks currently have a +40mm post adapter so yeah PM160. Now im just trying to justify £350 for saints and rotors....
 
If you've got the old one in place, I'd say not too bad. Just get yourself one of these bad boiiz: RockShox Barb Connector for Reverb / Reverb Stealth

Slice of the old hose at the caliper, connect the lever end of the Shimano hose to it using the barb, unscrew all the tabs holding the cables and start pushing and pullin'. Should be able to get it through without taking the motor off.

Dropper post is MUCH worse imho. I've dropped the motor 4 times for now (bought the bike ~3 months ago). But in the end, it's all doable.
 
Hi, I'm looking to put Saints on my Levo Turbo, can I ask what mounts you bought front and rear and if you think the Saints are worth it?
