Shimano disc on Chris King hub

[Erik Lindeberg]

I want to use the Shimano hydraulic XTR disc brakes on Chris King disc hubs.
The hub is available in a "universal" and an "ISO" version, but neither of
them
seems to fit the Shimano's central locking system. Any advice?

Use another rotor.

Use a different rotor, a different hub, or a different brake system.

Thanks, I understand that I have to change the rotor.
What rotor do you recomend?
Should I buy an "ISO" or a "Universal" version of the hub?

Ya need a first gen XT rotor that used a standard 6 bolt attach method. XT is
thinner than all the 'standard' rotors so must be used with shimano disc
calipers.

Get the ISO version and a Shimano RT75 rotor (2002/2003 XT) or a
suitable aftermarket 6 bolt 160mm rotor - the Braking wave rotors
http://www.wiggle.co.uk/v2_product_detail.asp?ProdID=5360013377 look
nice. The universal version of the hub is not necessary for this
application.

Is not the old XT disc also somewhat thicker than the new XTR disc?
Or is the difference so small that it does not matter?
Could you measure the two discs for me?
Does the old XT rotor require the ISO version of the hub
(as Kinky Cowboy suggests above)?
