FAQs

What is the maximum rotor size these bolts can be used with?

These Ashima rotor bolts are designed for rotors up to 160mm in diameter.

Are these bolts suitable for all types of bicycle rotors?

They are specially designed for aluminum rotors. While they might fit other types, their intended strength and safety profile is optimized for aluminum.

How many bolts are included in a set?

Each pack contains 6 rotor bolts.

What is the weight of these rotor bolts?

A set of 6 Ashima rotor bolts weighs approximately 12g.

Can I use these for downhill mountain biking?

These bolts are designed for light use and cross-country racing. For downhill or applications with extreme braking forces, heavier-duty bolts might be more appropriate.

What material are these bolts made of?

These are aluminum rotor bolts.

Where are these bolts manufactured?

These are genuine Ashima items, implying manufacturing by or for Ashima.

Troubleshooting

Bolt threads do not engage smoothly

Ensure the bolt hole on the rotor and hub are clean and free of debris. Try threading the bolt by hand first to check for cross-threading. If damage is suspected, do not force it and replace the bolt.

Rotor seems loose after installation

Re-check that all rotor bolts are tightened to the correct torque specification in a star pattern. Ensure the rotor is properly seated against the hub flanges.

Bolt head is stripping during tightening

Use the correct size tool (typically a T25 Torx). Ensure the tool is fully seated in the bolt head before applying torque. If the head is already damaged, stop and replace the bolt.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Specifically designed for aluminum rotors, enhancing safety.
  • Lightweight at only 12g for a set of 6.
  • Suitable for light use and cross-country racing applications.
  • High-quality manufacturing from Ashima.

Cons

  • Limited to rotors up to 160mm in diameter.
  • May not be suitable for heavier riders or extreme downhill use.
  • Aluminum construction might be perceived as less durable than steel by some users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility: These rotor bolts are designed for use with bicycle disc brake rotors up to 160mm in diameter. They are specifically engineered for aluminum rotors; always ensure compatibility with your specific rotor model and hub interface.

Setup:

  1. Ensure the rotor is correctly seated on the hub.
  2. Hand-tighten each bolt initially to seat the rotor evenly.
  3. Using a suitable torque wrench, tighten the bolts in a star pattern to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification. Refer to your rotor and hub documentation for exact torque values, as overtightening can damage the components.

Care:

  • Inspect bolts regularly for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion.
  • Clean bolts with a mild degreaser and a soft brush if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • If any damage or corrosion is noted, replace the bolts immediately to maintain braking system integrity.
