Ok , whats the difference between the normal bolt on disc brakes and "centrelock" discs.

Apart from the way they fit on is one better than the other ??

Thanks Graham,

I'm assuming you need specific wheels ?

so if I wanted to change at some point I'd have to change the wheels as well

Centrelock 100% better if you're putting your bike on the plane and need to take your rotors off. I assume you know the hubs will have to be different for both systems.
