Shimano Centrelock rotor with Avid BB5
I have a set of XTR centrelock wheels I want to use with Avid BB5 Disc brakes. Other than the correct diameter is there any reason centrelock rotors will not work?

1 thing could possibly have an effect and I'm not sure if it will or not.
Rotor location (spacing left or right) in relation to the caliper.
If that is with in adjustable perameters (it fits), then you are golden.

I dealt with this situation the other day-the only issue is if the rotor is the spider-style. If it is, the edges of the spider will rub the calipers(easily fixed with a dremel).
