Product Information
Full details
The Avid Rotor Bolt Kit is an essential maintenance component designed for mountain bike enthusiasts and mechanics who utilize standard 6-bolt disc brake systems. These bolts provide a reliable, secure connection between your brake rotor and hub, ensuring optimal stopping power and safety on the trails. While the kit provides a perfect fit for Avid and most standard mountain bike disc systems, users must ensure they have a T25 Torx tool on hand, as these bolts are not compatible with standard hex keys.

FAQs
Are these bolts compatible with CenterLock hubs?
No, this kit is specifically designed for 6-bolt mounting configurations only.
Do I need to apply thread-locker to these bolts?
It is recommended to apply a small amount of medium-strength thread-locking compound to ensure the bolts do not vibrate loose during heavy use.
Can I reuse these bolts if I take my rotors off?
It is generally advised to use fresh bolts whenever a rotor is removed to ensure the integrity of the threads and the bolt head interface.
What tool size is required?
A T25 Torx tool is required for proper installation and removal.
Does this kit include enough bolts for both wheels?
No, this is a 6-piece kit, which is sufficient for one rotor. You would need two kits to service both the front and rear wheels.
Troubleshooting
Bolt head is stripping during installation
Ensure the T25 Torx bit is fully seated into the bolt head before applying force; avoid using worn or rounded tools.
Rotor feels loose after installation
Re-check the bolt torque with a torque wrench to ensure all 6 bolts meet the manufacturer's specified value.
Bolts are difficult to thread into the hub
Clean the hub threads with a pick and ensure no metal shavings or debris are obstructing the path.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Direct fit for standard 6-bolt mountain bike hubs
- Torx interface prevents head stripping common with hex bolts
- Durable enough to handle intense braking heat
- Essential kit for disc brake overhauls
Cons
- Requires a T25 Torx tool, not included in the kit
- Designed only for 6-bolt systems, not CenterLock
- Single-use capability; it is recommended to replace rather than reuse after removal
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, first clean the hub threads with a degreaser to remove old thread-locking compound. Align the rotor holes with the hub bolt pattern and hand-thread each bolt to prevent cross-threading. Use a T25 Torx wrench to tighten the bolts in a star pattern to ensure even pressure distribution. It is highly recommended to apply a small amount of medium-strength thread-locking fluid to the threads if the bolts are not pre-treated. Always check the rotor manufacturer's specific torque requirements, which typically fall between 5Nm and 6Nm for standard hubs.
