Hi Guys,
My keen eye for a bargain and my lack of patients has led me to buy the wrong thing...again!
Question,
I have just got a set of Bontrager race lite wheels of ebay. I asked the seller before i bid on them if the hubs were 6 bolt IS standard fitting for the rotors...he said yes. I have just checked my rotors, thinking they were 6 bolt, and to my horror the bolts have no heads to be able to remove them, leading me to realise they are centerlock fitting.
What do i do? Buy adaptors and fit my existing rotors or bite the bullet and get new 6 bolt IS ones...if i go down the route of new rotors should i upgrade to bigger ones at the same time? Again, buying adaptors to be able to fit them. I currently have 185 and 160mm shimano BR M485's

your discs will NOT fit and can NOT be made to fit."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
