Adapter for disc brake rotor 6 bolt to center lock?
Quote | Reply
So, if and just if, i ever get my DB Andean i like to get the new dura ace disc rotor's. But those are center lock and on my zipp 404/8-8 are 6 bolt's. I am new to disc brakes and i wonder id there are any adapters for 6 bolt to center lock rotor's. I have seen them vice versa but ig understand correctly those are not be used vice versa although i don't get why (yet)....

Thanks,

Hmm, I've never seen an adaptor that goes in that direction (not saying they don't exist).

Why are you so set on those rotors? I mean, I'm sure they're nice and all, but there are a lot of nice six bolt rotors out there as well. Even if the adaptor does exist, I wouldn't voluntarily introduce an adaptor into the system unless I absolutely had to (just another point of potential failure/issue).

You have a point there, it does add an extra component but i just like that compltely closed look from those rotor's.

No such adapter exists. Can't fit the required components in the available space.

You cannot use centre lock rotor on 6bolts hub
But it's a possible combination: 6bolt rotor on CL hub.

I've a cx bike equiped with disc brakes.
IMO, 6 bolts type is much more better than shimano CL because it is slighlty lighter, simpler and quite cheaper. Anyway I admitt that dura rotor looks gorgeous....

Stay home, stay healthy.

Why do you say 6 olt is better?

Cetrelock is quicker to install/remove.
Won't warp because some hamfisted can't do bolts up evenly and to the proper torque.
Is generally a lighter overall system.
Allows wider hub flange spacing.

Exactly what is it about 6 bolt that you find better?
