I would have thought it would fit if you've got an LTS/STS, but it doesn't look like you have.

Post up a couple of pictures of the mount you bought and someone should be able to tell you whether or not it will fit.

To be able to fit/use disc brakes with your frame, you'd more than likely need something like this:

A2Z Universal Disc Mount

It looks like it might fit in those 2 holes on your frame, but the only way to know for certain is to try it!

yea it should because the seller says "mount ONLY for pre-existing mounting holes" he sells another without mounting holes and you have to drill your own holes to git it so i think this should work

You've bought a rear adapter that is specific to the holes on the GT STS or LTS bikes. It was designed ONLY to fit the pre-existing holes on the STS or LTS.

Just re-read your post, no idea if it'll fit or not - the A2Z adapter is probably a safer bet.

If the seller has stated that it's for a GT LTS or STS, then I would have thought that it was made specifically to fit those frames, and won't fit others. That's not to say that it definitely won't fit your frame - it just wasn't made for it.

You can try it, but as zigzag and I have said, an A2Z adaptor looks like it'll be a better option.

For me, the drop out picture shows a generic drop out used by GT, those 2 holes are for mudguard/rack mounting not for a disc tab.

I may be wrong (it has been known )
