• Is this a solid choice?

    It's not terrible, but if you came to me with that use case, I'd have two questions; are you immovable on Centrelock, and is 35C the smallest tyre you'll use? If yes to both, I'd be going Shimano M8000 hubs, Kinlin RD-3FT and DT Alpine III

  • @gbj_tester @MCamb cheers. 32c probably smallest, max 38c I think with guards on the bike (maybe 40c without). With centrelock, no idea and don't know the difference/pros/cons. Was steered towards centrelock

    6-bolt rotors are very simple to make and therefore cheap to replace when they wear out. The attachment system is well proven and extremely robust, having been used for many decades on all other vehicles with disc brakes. Centrelock sacrifices these attributes in exchange for a weight saving of a few grams.
