I am thinking about buying a set of road (ish) wheels for my hardtail so I can swap easily between on and offroad tyres. I have a couple of questions, if anyone can help out…
1. Disc rotors – do I have to buy Avid rotors (the bike has Juicy 3’s), or can I use any brand of rotor?
2. Am I likely to run into problems centring the rotors on the second set of wheels? Would it be worth looking at using the Shimano Centre-Lock system, as I think (?) it’s easy to adjust the position of the rotor using this system?
3. I am thinking of getting Merlin to build the wheels with Deore hobs and XC717 Disc rims, does that sound like a sensible spec for the wheels?
Any help much appreciated…
