Do they just fit on any bike or is it a new thing that only fits certain bikes etc?

Im going to get these for my bike but want to make sure i can fit the rotor on. I have currently got rotors that bolt on in 6 places

Is it simply a new system to fit on bikes or specific and wont fit

The brakes i want:

    buy 6 bolt discs. cheaper than buying new hubs/wheels.

    the shimano splined hubs fit whatever you want them to.

    so if i buy that kit does that mean i will have to buy different rotors?

    You can get adapters & buy normal discs... but then what would be the benefit of that?

    The standard is 6 bolt rotors. I personally wouldn't get another centrelock wheelset/hubset. I'm pretty sure that replacement discs are cheaper too. :wink:

    yes. but ask the seller if they do a kit with normal discs.

    and do you really need all these topic on the brakes?
