Hi all,

I'm building two disc brake bikes right now, one road, one cross/gravel. Both will use trp spyre mechanical discs. The wheelsets I've sourced, the hed ardennes fr, use centerlock disc mounts. The trps come with six-bolt rotors.

Obviously, I need to either: 1) get centerlock to six-bolt adaptors, 2) buy centerlock rotors for use with the trp spares, or 3) use different wheels or brakes.

Option 3 is out because I already have the wheels and there are few compelling brake alternatives.

How would you solve this problem? I've found that the adaptors are almost as expensive as new rotors (although I don't really know which rotors to buy as replacements) and I'm not sure I'm comfortable using a pn adaptor in such a critical component.

I appreciate any thoughts. Thanks.

just get some center lock rotors. shimano rotors are cheap on ebay watch out for resin pad only rotors. some centerlock adapters are better than others

well biked

Thanks--that is my thinking too. Any particular centerlock rotor you would recommend that is road appropriate? I'm running 160mm rotors on both bikes.

Have a look at the following model Shimano rotors.

SM-RT30, SM-RT53, SM-RT62, SM-RT64, SM-RT67, SM-RT77, SM-RT78, SM-RT79, SM-RT81, SM-RT96, SM-RT97

Some Shimano rotors are for Resin/Organic pads only, check what pads you have before getting new rotors.

Shimano, DT-Swiss, Mavic, etc, wouldn't make centerlock adapters and sell them if they weren't safe to use.
