Hi
I have shimano xt wheels/disc brakes splined rotors. My rear xt disc brake failed again 5 mins into the Erlestoke12 yesterday & i am now going to change disc brakes.
My problem is that i have splined wheels/rotors and what i am seeking is an answer to my question....Are there any disc brakes compatibale with splined rotors (other than xt)or can i convert them to 6 bolt to accomodate the type of disc brakes i want to buy?
Any help/advice would be most welcome

They'll be fine.

What's up with the XTs? They're normally pretty good. Drop me a line if you want to get rid, might be servicable or useful as spares.

Cheers nickjb. The rear brake lost all power 2 months ago. Mechanic at LBS re built it but it went again yesterday, even pumping the lever didn't help. Will drop you a line once I get sorted if u r intersted in buying brakes. Cheers
