Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a standard centre-lock rotor tool. Before tightening, always verify that your specific hub uses the centre-lock standard, as this rotor is not compatible with 6-bolt hubs without an adapter.
Crucial installation steps include:
- Ensure the hub splines are clean and lightly greased to prevent seizing.
- Slide the rotor onto the hub and install your preferred lockring (note: lockring not included).
- Use a torque wrench to tighten to the manufacturer's specification for your hub.
- Important: Before your first ride, cycle the brakes several times while stationary to check for clearance between the rotor rivets, the brake caliper body, and the frame chainstay/seatstay mounts.
Regular maintenance involves cleaning the braking surface with an isopropyl alcohol-based cleaner and ensuring the rotor remains true to prevent pad rubbing.
