What 6 bolt rotors will work?
The shimano ones just look a bit naff and are not the lightest

I see on CRC there are numerous ones to choose from, but must are for specific brake types, is there much difference?

Also anybody know the best place to get brake adaptors?
I like to run 180/183 or whatever it is up front with XT brakes on a reba 29er fork.

thanks

I've used Shimano calipers with Hope and Avid discs without any problems.

CRC have a large range of adaptors.

I'm running hope floating rotors on my Shimano callipers , and because they look cool, I'm therefore cool by association. 180 front 160 rear, didn't need to do anything other than realign the calliper over the rotor

Assuming you ensure there is sufficient contact-patch depth (i.e. the pads wont overlap the edges of the rotor top or bottom), a 6 bolt rotor is a 6-bolt rotor.
