Centrelock or 6-bolt?

[synchronicity]

I have only ever liked 6 bolt.
It just seems 'superior', it's spaced out further, less prone to tolerance errors.
You have two wheelsets, then get two sets of rotors as well.

Yep, only ever used 6 bolt and just get another pair of discs

Thanks for all the replies! My preference would be 6 bolt, but there are more hub options in CL, or so it seems...
Anyone got a 36h 9mm QR 6 bolt front hub for sale?

I prefer centerlock

Edit

Should probably specify why

I enjoy how quickly I can install and uninstall. I think 6 bolt is probably more robust but I have had no issues with CL.

Why? I have been googling more, and from what I've found 12mm TA is now more a "road" standard, and most road disc hubs are centrelock... I am still wavering between standard QR fork and hub, or TA. If I go for TA, that probably means a road hub, which more than likely means centrelock... unless I go 15mm with a 12 to 15mm TA adaptor

Also depends on rotor choices I guess, some people have preferred rotors that only come in CL versions

yer, fancy shimano ones with fins like a fish only come in centre lock. Seems Shimano are very interested in keeping discs cool.

I like 6 bolt because something goes wrong on the trail I can remove it with normal carrier tools, or fix it with the same.

the difference between QR and TA to me is marginally from new but far greater as the parts age and wear.

 

[foz]

what's the greater difference as parts wear?

I ran 6 bolt before but got a new wheel with CL hub, so just went with the flow. Think it's more versatile in the sense that you can run CL and also any 6 bolt with an adapter, and I hate unbolting stuff with a little torx set. So CL for me.
