Justin Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Hi I'm looking to buy some wheels and disc brakes, but don't know if I should go for 6 bolt or C-lock. What is the better choice? Thanks
dirtrider Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Difference ? they both attach a rotor to your hub . Six bolt takes longer to put on take of .
AndreZA Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 6 bolt discs are cheaper and wheels are easier to find.
Bos Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 6 bolt discs are cheaper and wheels are easier to find. Jup, There are adaptors both ways but Just get 6 bolt, unless youre thinking of using shimano brakes for life.
Justin Posted January 21, 2010 Author Posted January 21, 2010 Yes, I noticed the juicy 3 set is 6 bolt.
AndreZA Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Jup' date=' There are adaptors both ways but Just get 6 bolt, unless youre thinking of using shimano brakes? for life.[/quote'] I don't think you get an adapter to take it from centre-lock to-6 bolt. I use Shimano brakes and Shimano hubs and they are 6-bolt.
AndreZA Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Real shimano hubs are CL !!! ] so my pretty black ones marked "Shimano XT" are fake?
Justin Posted January 21, 2010 Author Posted January 21, 2010 So, the 6 bolt doesn't rattle more than the c-lock, or the c-lock doesn't wear out more than the 6 bolt?
dirtrider Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Must be cause both my XT wheel sets on my bikes got CL . If either of your rotors start to rattle you gonna also find your teeth also rattling soon after that ! I have felt no diffirence between the two

AndreZA Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Bos, that is to make a 6-bolt disc fit on a Centre-lock hub, not the other way around.
droo Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Bos' date=' that is to make a 6-bolt disc fit on a Centre-lock hub, not the other way around.[/quote'] I thought that's what you meant too. But you're right, you don't get them the other way round.
