Right, I'm building a set of lightweight disc wheels for my hardtail based on Tune King/Kong hubs laced to Stan's ZTR 355 rims with DT Revolution 1,8/1,5/1,8 spokes and al nipples. I'm 65 kilo / 143 lbs so this should not pose any problems IMHO?
My brakes are Shimano XTR disc's and I'm wondering what rotors to use for these wheels. One option could be Formula B4SL as shown by anders on "The Machinist" homepage.
What other "lightweight", 6 hole, ø160mm, steel rotors are available that will work with my XTR calipers?

Formula B4SL, Magura wave, and Hayes round 160mm rotors all weigh within a gram or two of 110g. I've never heard of any lighter 160mm steel rotors, but that doesn't mean there isn't one.
Any issues with the XTR calipers at the moment. Is braking affected at all? Its just from my understanding the wavy rotors work good with mud, and I ride in muddy condtions a good deal throughout the year..

Hi Trevor,
I ride in upstate New York, very wet and muddy out here too. I have had NO problems with these rotors at all. they work great with the xtr calipers, are lighter, and shed mud a lot better IMHO. Get them!

Yup, also thanks for the information from me - might be the Martha SL rotors then - they're a bit more flashy looking than the Hope Mono Mini rotors - descisions descisions...
