Caerus Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 You won't be dissapointed with the XT brakes, I suggest that option, just cause I'm running them as well, with Ice-tech 160mm rotors front & back, haven't even thought of changing to a 180mm up front, they can stop on a dime. Your rotors look to be attatched to the hubs TheV 1
mikeMT Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Running full xt including 180 ice tech rotors, if I had to chose myself I would go with full shifter firstly, however my riding is more technical trails, and considering we are going into winter the trails will be much dryer but the climbs are still there
TNT1 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Your rotors look to be attatched to the hubs What the **** else would they be attached to?
Smolly Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 What the **** else would they be attached to?Rims!!! Dah??
Caerus Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 What the **** else would they be attached to? The rim perhaps
awesme Posted May 17, 2012 Author Posted May 17, 2012 Hi Yes, they're bolted onto the hub, not a slide on with a splise.

TNT1 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Please show me a mtb disc attached to the rim. Daniel XTR 1
Caerus Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Please show me a mtb disc attached to the rim. Give me a minute, but int mean time read earlier in the thread and it will explain why I mentioned that
TNT1 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 read earlier in the thread and it will explain why I mentioned that No thanks. Show me this rim mounted mountain bike disc.
Caerus Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 No thanks. Show me this rim mounted mountain bike disc. There is no such thing, so you may be in for a wait cause I won't be looking for anything to show you.
TNT1 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 There is no such thing, so you may be in for a wait cause I won't be looking for anything to show you. So what the **** were you talking about?

The rim perhaps Show me this rim mounted mountain bike disc.There is no such thing, Jesus. Even for a trade school oke, this is retarded. Edited May 17, 2012 by TNT1
TheV Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Quick notes: Mr. awesme weights like 60-70kg's tops, he doesn't need anything but 160/160mm Rotors, especially if we are talking proper Ice-Tech's - and in that case, he needs model RT-86, which is 6-bolt. The pics shows he has OEM Shimano DEORE (not SLX/XT/etc). His hubs are not centre-lock.
TheV Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 @TNT, I agree - this must have been the worst technical advice/discussion on the hub - ever!!!!
Caerus Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 So what the **** were you talking about? The OP mentioned they his rotors looked to be attached to his rims, I asked if they were not in fact connected to his hubs, then he posted a pic and I confirmed they were indeed bolted to his hubs. Hence why I said go back and reread, capisce?
TNT1 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 His hubs are not centre-lock. But the key question, according to the people in the know, is, are his discs attached to the rim or the hub?
