Hey I have a set of m800 saint hubs. The front is 20mm though axle and the the rear is a 10mm through axle what I want to know is if I can use a modern center lock rotor on them or do I have to use the rotors from that generation. I can't find any solid information but I know it uses a different size locking tool than modern center lock hubs and I've read in some places that they use a slightly larger diameter center lock interface but others say modern xt or xtr rotors will work. Any info would be cool

You can use any centerlock rotor with your hub, just be aware that they may or may not work with your calipers and/or brake adapters.

They use a different tool because a standard freewheel tool (the normal way Shimano centerlocks tighten) is smaller than a 15mm axle, so it doesn't work. The centerlock splines themselves are the same. Shimano uses an outboard BB tool for their 15/20mm lockrings.

Wrong.

The Saint M800 & M805 hubs use a 47mm oversize centerlock spline, a standard centerlock spline is 35mm.

The OP needs a specific rotor, the SM-RT80.

Disc rotor types

The Saint M810, M815 & M820 hubs have a standard centerlock spline.
Exactly the info I was looking for. Thanks
