Road disc brake questions...

richardjinman

Hi, apologies if some of these questions have been answered before, but any advice appreciated. I've just got a new Cannondale Synapse with CZero wheels. Love the bike, but would like to get some deeper wheels, eg: Reynolds Assault, Zipp 302 etc.
The bike is set up with centrelock discs .... 16 on the front, 14 on the rear.
Questions are:

If I buy wheels with 6-bolt rotors is there much adjustment required to make them fit existing brake set up?

Is it possible to adjust the front brake to use a 14 rotor on the front or am I stuck with 16?

And finally, if I want to sell the Czeros any idea what I should ask for them. They're only sold as part of Cannondale bikes as far as I know so it's kind of hard to know.

Thanks in advance....

You can use 6 bolt wheels with no changes needs to your brake set-up. Although you obviously can't use your centrelock rotors on 6 bolt wheels unless you buy adapters. You can change your discs from 160 to 140 on the front by turning round the adapter beneath the caliper (if it's flat mount shimano)
Not sure about the value of your wheels but I can highly recommend 3t c60 discuss wheels.

Thanks for that, appreciated. They are flat mount shimano so will move to 140 front and back.
