    what rotors?
    what hubs?
    got pics.

    If shimano hubs then most likely Centre lock fitting so a cassette tool is needed.

    If they're rivets, then I'm guessing theyr'e centrelock rotors, but like Nick said, more info needed.

    They are Scott hubs,Says Shimano on rotors also says LOCK -40-M, sm-RT53. Is that a tool for removing Chain cassette the same, I have one of them. But what about placing new rotor?

    either new center lock discs or buy an adaptor allow a 6 bolt rotor to fit.

    is that a chain cassette tool you use though? Is it easy to use the adapter? Just bought new brakes that came with 180mm rotors, 160's on wheels at mo.

    it is a cassette tool.

    have a read of the manual or Parktools

    and you just fit them.

    Centrelock rotors are great, no more corroded bolts losing their torx drive and having to be hacksawed off.
    If you can get some for a reasonable price, stick with them.

    DUH, just realised that of course, the adapter has the same advantage of the Shimano system.
    DOH :lol:
