Does shimano even make any hubs with 6-bolt rotor mounts anymore?
What's out there that's comparable to XT hubs that I can mount my Avid rotors to? I don't want tospend hundreds and hundreds of dollars on hubs. I'd be happy with XT hubs if I could mount my rotors. Anyone else make a comparable hub in a comparable price range to the XTs?

WTB makes the laserdisc hubs... They're pretty good but a bit more expensive than the XT's.. Might look at Sun-Ringle, though I've heard their rear hub is nothing too special. Shimano DOES make a 6-bolt XT rotor... They do also make the centerlock and of course the non-disc hub as well. Look around and you'll find the 6-bolt XT's. The Centerlock is the 765, the 6-bolt ISO is the 756. So if you want black, here's your part numbers to hunt for...
Rear: FH-M756-L Front: HB-M756-L If you want silver, replace the L with an S. :) |

That said, Speedgoat is selling XT M756 (ISO bolt pattern) rear hubs for $60 and front hubs for $45. |
Better off not using the adapter and just getting the 6-bolt rotors.

It's too bad that JensonUSA ran out of stock on their M756 hubs... gee I wonder why. ;) They were going for $27 and $36 for front and rear respectively.
Here's a list of some suppliers that might help in your search. |
Hmmm... might want to check out BeyondBikes.com. They're selling the FH-M756 for $28.99 and the HB-M756 for $38.99 right now.

Rotors are relatively cheap. Just use a Centerlock rotor with your Avid's it's not like it won't work.
|
XT 6 bolts hubs are like lead though. They're damn heavy.
|
I also heard from a number of shops and riders that XT is poop if your a big people or a freerider.

Xt is fine. Still a great strong hub. Relatively cheap too. I know many freeriders and dhillers that will use them till the day they die :)
I just don't like the engagement, I like more points (hadley, hope) |
