center lock or 6 bolt?

By Thomllama on 5/1/2008

OK, been seeing a lot of wheels with center lock!

wondering if anyone has used these?

can they be used with anybodies calipers?

Is there any real advantage?

looking at weight they seem actually heavier or about the same. Rim is a gram or 2 lighter but that's nill in my book.

Just been looking at Mavic's crossland rims which everyone has on sale do to they are discontinuing them for the Crossride, probably do to the bad hipe on the hubs cracking. I'm betting though that the people who crack them are using them more for All Mtn than for XC. I'm a very light rider (light meaning I'm easy on the bike not that I'm a light...)

I actually did get the rear wheel now and LOVE it over my old Shimaro/Sunrims the bike came with!!

anyway looking at getting a front to match ( or maybe a set and keep a spare rear) so any input is awesome :)
