FAQs

What is a Centerlock system?

A Centerlock system is a type of disc brake hub mounting standard where the rotor attaches to the hub via a splined interface, secured by a lockring. It is distinct from the 6-bolt system.

Does this lockring fit all types of bike hubs?

No, this lockring is specifically designed for hubs that use the Centerlock mounting standard. It will not fit hubs with a 6-bolt rotor mount.

What does the steel washer do?

The steel washer is included to provide a larger contact surface and ensure more even pressure distribution when the lockring is tightened, enhancing security and preventing damage to the hub or rotor.

Can I use this lockring with any rotor?

You can use this lockring with any rotor designed for the Centerlock mounting system. Ensure the rotor's interface matches the hub's Centerlock standard.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will need a specific Centerlock lockring tool, which is similar to a cassette lockring tool, and a torque wrench to ensure proper tightening.

How do I know if my axle is 9/10/12/15/20mm?

Axle size typically refers to the diameter of the through-axle or quick-release skewer. You can usually find this information in your bike's specifications or by measuring your existing axle.

Is this lockring suitable for e-bikes?

This lockring supports up to a 20mm axle, which is common on many performance-oriented bikes, including some e-bikes. Always confirm compatibility with your specific e-bike's hub and braking system.

Troubleshooting

Lockring does not thread on smoothly.

Ensure the hub splines and lockring are clean and free from dirt or debris. Verify that you are using the correct lockring for a Centerlock system and that it is aligned properly with the hub splines.

Rotor is loose or makes noise after installation.

Check that the lockring has been tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque using a torque wrench. Ensure the steel washer is correctly positioned. Re-tighten if necessary, adhering to torque specifications.

Difficulty removing the lockring.

Ensure you are using the correct Centerlock lockring tool. If it's seized, apply a penetrating lubricant and allow it to sit for a while before attempting removal again. Be cautious not to damage the tool or the lockring.

Lockring appears damaged or worn.

Replace the lockring immediately. Continued use of a damaged lockring can compromise brake performance and safety.

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:

  1. Ensure the hub's Centerlock splines and the rotor's Centerlock interface are clean and free of debris.
  2. Place the steel washer onto the lockring.
  3. Thread the lockring onto the hub, ensuring it engages correctly with the splines. Hand-tighten first.
  4. 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.
