Can I use disc brake rotors as spoke protector discs?
If yes, have the following questions.
1. Should I use centerlock or 6-bolt rotors?
2. For a 11-36T cassette, diameter of 36T cog is 150mm (6 inches).
Is it better to use 180mm or 203mm rotors?
3. Should I attach the rotor to the spokes or the 36T cog?
4. How close to the 36T should the rotor be to prevent chain derailment?
Thanks
No idea how you'd mount a rotor to the drive side (maybe zip ties?). Most experienced riders remove the spoke protecter disc because it's not needed if you adjust your rear derailleur properly.
