Ill be puting these on my fargo..I may upgrade the frame in the next couple months though...thinking of a custom heavy tourer.
Either way the wheels will be used for loaded off road touring/bikepacking

Centerlock Disc on the front? 6 Bolt disc on the rear?
The centerlock is a good thing for Touring bikes you pack in Boxes to fly places.
because it's easy to pack the disc separately, so It Stays Flat.

Was actually still debating whether I should get the 6 bolt adapter for the shimano..was starting to think i should not bother,cause ill be buying new rotors and cassette anyway, so i can keep mycurrent wheelset as a backup or may e for another build.does it matter?

For mountain Decents The discs with the aluminum spiders will soak off some heat. and
bigger the better for disc size.. 180F 160R a minimum..
[ i got a bike, built with a adapter on the front, the type which tightens around the splines with a bolt.]

Rear wheel is laced, waiting on more nipples for the front.
This beast weighs 3.96 pounds with no cassette or rotor
Kinda scary
