Sloggy Posted June 12, 2010 Share Here is the situation never got real understanding current setup Alec wheels with Avid juicy brakes and 160MM Back rotor and 185MM front rotor (both avid and 6 bolt) New setup in the process XT wheels which are cente lock need to get rotors pref light ones. what are my option I know i can buy a converter from centre lock to six bolt but that seems silly as it negates the advantage of centre lock and its heavy I dont mind going to 160MM on both if thats an answer I do know that avid just started selling an avid 185MM centre lock rotor but its R500 a rotor any advice or even avids local number (agents) so i can ask them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mob Posted June 12, 2010 Share There are a pair of XT centrelock rotors on here 160mm Those are big enough to stop you... unless you're a DHiller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewie911 Posted June 12, 2010 Share You can use different brands of rotors if you didn't know that. Like tarmac says, you can use those shimanos with your avid brakes. I'm currently using 140 rear and 160 front and that's fine for normal XC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloggy Posted June 12, 2010 Share just get 2 X shimano XT rotors centre lock 160MM front and back what about the thikness and uneven brake wear or rub? have heard that theory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mob Posted June 12, 2010 Share Unless your pads are really bad the and worn unevenly it wont matter. the rotor thickness is minuscule and if you push the pistons back to reset them they will come back and bite again in the right place. Just like putting new pads in. If your pads are bad then get new pads with your new rotors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
