OK

First would like to say thanks for the people that have helped me.

I just ordered manufacure XT wheels, and xt brakes, and got the xt crank as well, so It will look like XT threw up on my bike.. :lol:

But I am now stuck for the last time... the rotor.

The XTR are light and they look ok, but really like the colour ones like hope.

Do they do centre lock? as the wheels are centre lock, so trying to get some nice ones, or should I just stick with the XTR.

Thanks again guys

    As far as I'm aware hope don't make centre lock rotors. In fact, I'm petty sure shimano are the only people who make them.

    You can get centre lock to 6 bolt adaptors, but that's just silly in my opinion.

    I would stick with the XTR rotors if I were you.

    Stick with the XT or XTR ones, whichever comes with brakes you're using

    Hope floating rotors may well not work with the Shimano brakes due to the rotor rivets, which may well foul on the brake caliper, apart from being 6 bolt mount

    Thats what I thought after looking around.

    No big deal the XTR ones look nice.

    Rotors dont come with the brakes, had to buy seperate.

    Cost me a lot as had to buy all at RRP from shimano as part of a Bike scheme. :cry:

    Got 100.00 left from 1000.00 so paid about 600.00 in real cash

    Cranks
    brakes
    wheels
    and fitting everything and full service as well.

    And they are giving me 50.00 worth of bike kit as well, Pricey but its tax free and intrest free and no other bike shop would do this, they all said I had to order a bike.

    Thanks again guys
