I bought these and have tried everything I can short of filing down my XTR callipers to get them to work. The callipers just wont clear the rivets in the rotors. They have to go. They have been ridden for one lap at UWF. They are the standard sawtooth floating rotors. The inside part is annodized blue with a stainless steel brake track.

$50 for the pair and I will even deliver them to UWF and come ride with you to boot!

If you hear a chainsaw coming up ahead or behind at UWF, it is me riding those wheels. I don't know how CB did it, but they have made the loudest freehub in existence.

Dont get rid of the calipers.... You need a different caliper mount to run those rotors.. Go see Mark at TS to figure out what mount you need. You can also add washer spacers to draw the caliper back to clear the rotor bolts..

The fork is IS mount and the adapter from shimano is too wide. The only option I really could do would be to grind down the adapter a little, but just putting some new rotors on was cheaper and easier. The machine shop I took the adapter to couldn't promise they could grind it level so I sort of shyed away from that. I found some alligator rotors that work like a champ and were only $25 at price point. They were actually lighter than the hope rotors too.
