Bike build dilemma.

[Anthony Sloan]

Has anyone out there tried running a hayes disc in a set of Avid claipers.

I have this odd dilemma: A new hardtail frame that is disc specific. I have a decent set of levers
and a set of Crossmax disc wheels. In the interest of not spending exorbitant sums of money, can I
slap on a set of Avid mechanicals and be able to use the hayes rotors that are already mounted on
the wheels?

TIA,

A

There's agood chance it will work, given the same rotor size obviously.

I used a set of Hayes rotors with Magura Louise calipers without problems.
