Avid BB7 calipers, RT-79 rotors, Mavic Crossrides. Just needs a small modification on the disk pads but it all works very well for XC use.
My advice would be:
- Nothing wrong with Centerlock; Shimano hub and Shimano rotor will more than likely work fine for the obvious reason. Grease contact and torque up similar to a cassette.
- Caliper choice and position needs to be studied. Check that the pads make full contact with the rotor track.
I've tried 6 bolts, and of course it works fine but the centerlock system intuitively makes sense. Now, 6 bolt adapters on centerlock seems retarded since another interface is involved along with associated tolerance mis-haps; but I have heard DT Swiss adapters are one of the best. Mavic ones sucked with Avid rotors.
PS: BTW I eat like a pig, drink like a fish and wildly oscillate between 80 and 95 Kg over three year re-occuring cycles. I'm using 160mm rotors and I'm not going down the alps cos I don't live there.
