I've just ordered a pair of SLX disc brakes from Ribble but they aren't supplied with rotors. Ideally, I'd like Shimano but I'd consider any brand really as long as they have a braking surface the same width as SLX rotors.
I think they're designed to work with 160mm rotors which is fine for the rear of my bike as the carbon stays are curved so I have clearance issues - I could go to 180mm max. As for the front, I'd be happy to run either a 180mm or 203mm rotor. (adaptors will be required, obviously)
If someone who has SLX SM-RT64 rotors on their bike could measure the braking surface, that would be really helpful too...
Thanks in advance...
I run mine with Hope Floating rotors on my Singlespeed...
No dramas here at all... 8)
Oh, and a 180mm on the front 160mm at the rear..

Oh, ask Mick ( Firestarter) for dimensions of the SLX rotors- I gave him a pair of 160mm ones yesterday.
yeah ive got slx with XT rotors. all ok as long as you pick the correct adapter
Those floating rotors sure are pretty. 😛
the new shimano floaters are nice too....
I use AShima rotors and have never had any problem with them. Merlin do them
I think the shimano floaters might be centre-lock so no good for me.
I have the Shimano floating rotors (on 2 bikes with SLX and XT) and they are available in 6 bolt as well as centrelock. CRC and Merlin stock them.
They look good and are noticeably stiffer than standard ones. Can't say i notice any difference in performance (running 203/180) but they stay truer for longer so less of the annoying 'chinging' noises....
