You think Avid/Hayes/etc will start selling versions of thier brakes that come with centerlock compatible rotors? There aren't any affordable alternatives to shimano hubs, so pretty soon all we're going to be able to get is centerlock stuff.

No we won't. There are other options (although it is a little more sometimes and sometimes a lot more. And companies are offering alternatives and even offering adaptors.

er no you added that.
other brake systems that use 160 or 203mm rotors work just fine with Shimano centre lock hubs. Infact, I wish other companies would switch to centre lock too, especially Cannondale. I've bent the front rotor twice last year during transport!!
