I need to get a second set of wheels for my mtb for touring, but i have avid bb7's with 185mm rotors. replacement rotors are about £20-30 a piece so i'm looking at £60 for rotors which is silly. however i have seen some avid clean sweep 185mm rotors on ebay which i should be able to get for a lot less than £40-60 are these the same thickness as my current rotors, would anyone be kind enough to measure the thickness if they have them and then i can compare with the bb7 ones i have. They say the clean sweep rotors work with juicy7's and avid codes but surley if bb7's share the same pads as juicy's then the rotors are likely to be the same thickness aren't they?

Thanks

Henry
