Unanswered Questions about brakes fitting

[StuckintheSpokes]

I am aware that there are different mounting options for brakes, i.e. direct or post mount, as well as 6 bolt or centre lock for rotors.

How do I find out which is which on the bike and which brakes fit? Sorry if this a noob question.

Take a gander at these pictures to familiarize yourself which is which, and then confirm what you bike came with. New brakes will tell you what mount they are, so you pick what came on your own (nomrally post nowadays)..
