Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This lockring is exclusively designed for bicycle hubs utilizing the Centerlock mounting standard. Ensure your wheel hub and brake rotor are both Centerlock compatible. It supports axle sizes ranging from 9mm, 10mm, 12mm, 15mm, up to 20mm. Always verify your specific hub and axle dimensions before installation.
Setup:
- Ensure the hub's Centerlock splines and the rotor's Centerlock interface are clean and free of debris.
- Place the steel washer onto the lockring.
- Thread the lockring onto the hub, ensuring it engages correctly with the splines. Hand-tighten first.
- Using a compatible Centerlock lockring tool, tighten the lockring to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification. Overtightening can damage components, while undertightening can lead to unsafe braking.
Care:
- Regularly inspect the lockring for signs of wear or damage, especially after heavy use or impacts.
- Keep the lockring and hub splines clean. Use a soft brush and a mild degreaser if necessary, ensuring all cleaning agents are removed.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could degrade the material.
- Periodically check the torque of the lockring to ensure it remains secure.
