Question on Disc Brake Calipers
Quote | Reply
The bike I purchase came with disc brakes with wheels that have 6-bolt rotors. I am interested in purchase a back-up set of wheels however they have center lock rotors. Likely a very silly question, but can I use the wheels with the center lock rotors with the brake calipers that came on my bike? Would the calipers need to be adjusted? Thanks

yes you can use both wheelsets, but to avoid caliper adjustments, you may find it necessary to adjust rotor spacing using rotor shims on the 6-bolt to match the spacing the centerlock rotors.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

+1 on shimming the rotors. It's a pain getting them set up just right, but it will save you a lifetime of annoyance later.
