FAQs
What is Centre-Lock?
Centre-Lock is a mounting system developed by Shimano for attaching disc brake rotors to bicycle hubs. It uses a splined interface and a lockring for secure attachment, distinguishing it from the 6-bolt system.
Can I use this rotor with a 6-bolt hub?
No, the Aztec Core Disc Rotor PBR7203 is designed specifically for Centre-Lock hubs and cannot be used with 6-bolt hub systems.
How often should I replace my disc brake rotor?
Rotor replacement frequency depends on riding conditions, material wear, and rotor thickness. Inspect for wear indicators or if the rotor thickness falls below the manufacturer's recommended minimum (typically around 1.5mm).
What is the best way to clean the rotor?
Use a dedicated disc brake cleaner or isopropyl alcohol on a clean, lint-free cloth. Wipe the entire braking surface until dry. Avoid using household cleaners or lubricants.
Will this rotor work with my mechanical disc brakes?
Yes, the Aztec Core Disc Rotor is designed for broad compatibility and works with both hydraulic and mechanical disc brake callipers.
Do I need a special tool to install this rotor?
Yes, you will need a Centre-Lock compatible lockring tool to securely install and remove the rotor.
Troubleshooting
Rotor makes noise (squealing/grinding)
Ensure the rotor is clean and free of debris. Check that brake pads are properly seated and compatible. Verify the rotor is securely tightened to the hub.
Braking performance is weak
Clean the rotor surface thoroughly. Bed in the brake pads and rotor if new. Check brake fluid levels for hydraulic systems or cable tension for mechanical systems.
Rotor appears warped or bent
Gently attempt to straighten the rotor using a rotor truing tool. If the warp is severe or straightening is unsuccessful, the rotor should be replaced.
Difficulty installing rotor
Confirm you are using a Centre-Lock hub. Ensure the rotor splines align correctly with the hub splines. Use the appropriate Centre-Lock tool for tightening the lockring.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure your hub is compatible with the Centre-Lock system.
- Align the rotor with the splines on the hub body.
- Secure the rotor using the Centre-Lock lockring. A specific Centre-Lock tool is required for proper tightening and removal.
Compatibility:
- Hubs: Must be Centre-Lock compatible. Not compatible with 6-bolt disc brake systems.

Care:
- Clean the rotor surface regularly with a disc brake cleaner or isopropyl alcohol and a clean cloth to remove dirt, oil, and debris.
- Avoid touching the braking surface with bare hands, as oils can reduce braking performance.
- Inspect for any signs of damage, warping, or excessive wear. Replace if significant issues are found.
