Are there any road bikes that have disc brakes?
That’s in part due to bike makers switching their output almost exclusively to disc brakes. But even teams, such as UAE Team Emirates, who have the option and were riding rim brake bikes last year have this year made the switch to disc brakes.
Where is the fork located on a bicycle?

How can I tell if my disc is bent?
The first step is to fasten a zip tie around the frame or fork, and cut the end about 1 cm away so that it lines up close to the disc. Position the cut end of the zip tie close to the disc so you can use it as a makeshift gauge and easily tell where and by how much the disc is bent.
What do you need to know about disc brake mounts?
This measurement means it will offset the caliper how ever many “mm” it says. So you will have to know what you start with. Most rear IS mounts are setup for a 140mm disc, so the mount for that would be “0mm IS”. Now if you wanted a 160mm on it, you would want a “20mm IS” and so on. Loading…

What kind of fork do I need for disc brakes?
-The 160 post mount is the most common on 2009+ bikes/forks. This means you can mount disc brakes directly to the fork, no adapter is needed and it will be spaced for a 160mm rotor. However, some forks like the Fox 36 series use a 180mm post mount.
How can I tell if my disc brakes are warped?
To find out if your rotor is warped, set the bike in a stand or flip it over so the wheel can spin freely. Look between the pads for a wobble, or a gap opening and closing. If you see either, the rotor is out of true. Often, but not always, warped rotors can simply be bent back using a rotor truing tool like the Jagwire Disc Brake Multi-Tool.
