Which brake rotors or adaptors do I need to go with my new shimano XTR M975 disc callipers? |
I have just bought some Mavic wheels (deemax) with 6 bolt IS. However I also have the Shimano XTR M975 levers and brake calipers. They came with rotors, but they are central lock system. Which rotors can I buy that will fit, or is there an adapter to make my rotors fit (6 bolt IS to center lock adapter)? You can buy any rotor (make sure its the right size for your caliper placement, or just adjust the caliper) and it will work fine with your brakes. Just buy a decent one, not a cheap one which will likely cause problems, including poor heat reduction. I'm sure there will be an adapter (but I can't find one with a quick search), but it would be better to get either new hubs, or new rotors (which is cheaper!) EDIT: For a bigger rotor, you need the caliper to be further from the hub to accomodate the larger diameter. Basically if you were happy with the braking power of your brakes on your old wheelset, just buy the same size rotors, and they'll fit and work just fine with no adjustment to the calipers. none. Shimano's killer centerlock system is theirs. I opted for the crossmax sl's and xtr pods to allow choice of brakes / levers. With centerlock you need centerlock hubs you should be able to use any 6 bolt rotor. I believe all of shimanos will fit. It is pretty standardized But ask the dealer to save $$ |
