6 Bolt v CentreLock

[la85]

Whats everyones thoughts on the two mounting options for rotors on an MTB?

The hubs which I want to use on a new build .. DT Swiss 240 EXP 54T with J bend spokes only come with a 6 bolt mounting option from the supplier we are using and not in CentreLock.

6 Bolts for a boost rear wheel fine??

Been advised on not using straight pull spokes on a light weight wheelset as there is more chance of the spokes loostening and apparently j bend are easier to work on at a later date.

TIA

6 bolt has lighter rotor options, easy pick

If you find yourself undertaking anything epic 6 bolt is also easier to tighten/replace trailside. If the centerlock works loose you need a special tool to tighten (or a screwdriver and a hammer if push comes to shove)

I run Shimano rotors. They are the best and the top end ones only come in centerlock.

For road yes, for MTB 6 bolt has lots of rotor options many for superior to the shimano ones

That.

6-bolt rotors are fine and totally up to the task, but the centerlock options are superior.

Lock rings coming loose? Does your cassette loosen too?
