Pinkbike Poll: Center Lock or 6-Bolt Brake Rotor Mounting?
This article is bullshit due to its bias.
- zero mention of the fact that center lock hubs are lighter
- intentionally points out that 6 bolt rotors are lighter but cherry picks the heaviest possible design for the center lock rotor (taking a 6-bolt and effectively just adding an adapter.
A DT 240 center lock hubs is 17g lighter than the exact same 6 bolt hub.
Pick a rotor where they actually put an ounce of design effort into the center lock version (example - centerline X) and it's a 17g difference.
So no, 6 bolt isn't heavier unless you're cherry picking parts to feed your bias.

SID Select+ / Ultimate
$750 CADFor sale:

Fork came on my 2021 Epic Evo. Had issues with bushing play, so I sent it off for warranty and Rockshox did a full rebuild and replaced the lowers with Ultimate lowers. Fork was never ridden, never even installed since getting it back. (I bought different fork while it was gone).
Brief specs:
35mm stanchions
120mm travel
29" wheel
44mm offset
7.5" steerer tube (off an XL so should fit anything)
Full specs available here:
https://trailhead.rockshox.com/en/specs/04T04479539
Fork is effectively brand new without a single scratch on it.
Asking $750 OBO
Any questions, let me know.
Thanks

CeramicSpeed's Stolen Bikes Worth $80,000 Recovered After Suspect Visited Local Bike Shop
I remember working in the bike shops when a guy came in with a bike, asked us to remove a set of perfectly fine clipless pedals, install the cheapest plastic flat pedals we had in stock, and told us just to throw out the clipless pedals.
Sometimes you just know.
