Saint 6-bolt adaptors

Do 6-bolt adaptors for oversize centre-lock Saint hubs exist?

If so, has anyone got a part number or something I can search for?

oversize? there is only 1 size of 20mm botl thru cl hub.... saint, xt slx are the same

You sure about that? I thought the centrelock diameter on Saint was bigger, which is is why it needs different discs. 20mm bolt-through Shimano stuff, I thought, had the same diameter centrelock but a different lock-ring from QR centrelock.

disks are the same... you can swap front and back cant you?

Also... my disks from my Saint hubs fitted my XT hubs

your problem might be that the CL 6 bolt adapter doesn't fit over the 20mm hub... there are normal QR front wheels which take the same size CL rotors.

Well, no.

The problem is this: looking at some very nice XTR wheels as running a Lefty & thus a bit challenged in the range of wheels available.

XTR Lefty wheel takes a Saint SM-RT80 disc, as the centrelock fitting is oversized - linky: http://www.bike24.com/p24240.html

The back wheel is the normal size centrelock.

I have Avid brakes, so don't think Shimano discs will fit (they're marginally thicker); while you can get Avid discs for normal centrelock, they don't make them for over-size. Hence I'm looking into the availability of adaptors.

Shimano disks will be fine!

Will those work OK with Elixir calipers though?
