I'll be getting some new wheels for my MTB shortly, and I want to go for
the standard 6-bolt hub rather than Shimano's proprietary CentreLock. The
discs I already have are CentreLock, and I would like to use them. Would
anyone happen to know if the 6-bolt spacing on the CentreLock discs is the
same as the standard 6-bolt spacing? If so, I'll just grind/drill off the
rivets and use my existing discs.

Bit pricey.

Thanks - but I'm doing it t'other way around - I have centrelock rotors
that I want to remove the centrelock bit from and fit to a standard
6-bolt hub...

....if the holes are the same spacing after I've removed the rivets!

If I've done my sums correctly, both the BCD and centre-to-centre
measurement for a 6-bolt IS hub is 44 mm. Break out the ruler...

44mm BCD. Ho-hum - that'll be a "no" then! The discs mounted to the
centrelock flange are about 56mm BCD on the rivets.

Thanks for that info.
