Other bike components-How to DIY your bike with good carbon frame

Other bike components/ compatibility considerations

Disc rotors and wheels: There are two options, Centerlock and six-bolt.
Tires and rims: If you want tubeless, make sure the rims and tires are both tubeless-ready

Cassette: Your rear wheel’s cassette driver must match your cassette. On road bikes, this is usually just a conventional 11-speed freehub. On a mountain bike, you may need an XD driver for wide-range SRAM cassettes of a Microspline for 12-speed Shimano. Newer road bikes might need XDR drivers for SRAM AXS components. Campagnolo has a proprietary freehub and cassette design.
Shifting components: Typically, you do not want to mix brands, and you want to always match the cog count (i.e., speeds) for cassette, rear derailleur, and shifter.
Front hub spacing and axle: Especially on mountain bikes, make sure your fork and front axle match. The modern standard is 15x110mm — also known as Boost. Some older disc brake road and cyclocross bikes have 15x100mm axles, while newer forks and wheels have 12x100mm axles.
