Hi All
Here's the situation. I've got a vintage (99ish) Ginat Box One. It's in excellent condition and has been garaged for the last 7 or 8 years. I replaced the original Formula cable discs with a set of Magura Louise Discs.
Now the problem I have is that the formulas used 4 bolt discs and the Muguras use 6 bolt so the original hubs on the Giant will not take the 6 bolts. I'm looking to get the bike back in working order as a back up or even to sell it on. What's the best thing, and the cheapest, for me to do.
Should I get new hubs and have them built onto the rims that I currently have (the rims are pretty much brand new), do I get a whole new set of wheels with 6 hole hubs, do I try to get hold of some 4 bolt rotors which will work woth the maguras, do I admit defeat and use the Giant for spares, or do I do something completely different.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I'm not very technically minded.
cheers in advance

some of those rotors look like ninja throwing stars!
I've googled the description without much joy.

Where???
There are the 6 bolt ones on there but none of the 8 bolt that I need. If you read my original post the 6 bolt ones are of no use to me.
