Help!!!!
Looking for advice with my son's 2021 Norco Sight Jr.
We ride 3 days a week up at the Sun Peaks bike park(DH) my son rides hard, all day.
I upgraded his bike to a set of SLX 4 piston brakes, Ice tech 203mm rotors, and metal pads. Performance and reliability have been great, no heat or fading issues compared to the stock 180mm resin only rotors and cheapo Malaysian
2 piston calipers which he roasted off the bike and one weekend..
He has now bent his 2nd rear rotor crashing and I'm finding it VERY hard to find replacement center lock 203mm rotors for his bike. There are 6 bolt rotors a plenty though. I did some research and I can buy an adapter that allows me to run a 6 hole rotor on the center lock hub, but apparently I can't run the 2 piece Shimano rotors(which I love) with adapter....please help me with suggestions of what rotors would work with the adapters

I have the Galfer wave with SLX 4pots and it works like a charm. They also make a floating version if you are really looking for 2 pieces discs.
I have tried the original shimano metallic pads, the Galfer pads and the Trickstuff pads and my favorite are the Trickstuff ones, super silent, powerful and they don't have the small play of the Shimano or Galfer.

Which centerlock to 6 bolt conversion kit did you use?

I have the DT swiss ref HWZXXX00S1232S.
Maybe you are lucky enough to find the discs directly in center lock actually they make both versions

What size of rotor are you running with the DT adapter? Their site says max 160mm.

There might be different versions (maybe road and mtb?) because the ones I have say 210mm max and I am running 203mm
