Product Information
Full details
The Shimano RT-CL750 Centre Lock Rotor is designed for mountain bike enthusiasts and riders demanding consistent, powerful stopping power on modern disc brake systems. Its primary benefit is the combination of a robust 2.2mm stainless steel construction and an alloy spider that ensures heat dissipation and structural rigidity during intense descents. However, users should note that this rotor requires a Centre Lock compatible hub and the appropriate external lockring tool, which may necessitate specific maintenance equipment for those transitioning from six-bolt systems.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this rotor compatible with six-bolt hubs?
No, this is exclusively a Centre Lock rotor and requires a Centre Lock compatible hub.
Can I use this with metallic or resin pads?
Yes, this rotor is compatible with both standard resin and metallic brake pads.
Why is the rotor 2.2mm thick?
The increased thickness provides greater thermal mass, which helps the rotor resist heat buildup and deformation.
Do I need to buy a lockring separately?
No, the RT-CL750 comes complete with an external lockring.
How do I know if my hub is Centre Lock?
Centre Lock hubs feature a splined interface rather than the six-hole pattern found on standard rotors.
Troubleshooting
Rotor rubbing or ticking sound
Check that the Centre Lock ring is fully torqued and the wheel is properly seated in the dropouts.
Braking feels inconsistent or vibrates
Clean the rotor surface with isopropyl alcohol and ensure brake pads are bedded in correctly.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High structural rigidity prevents brake rub
- Excellent heat dissipation for long descents
- Self-cleaning surface excels in muddy trail conditions
- Reliable Centre Lock mounting system
- Durable 2.2mm thick construction extends component lifespan
Cons
- Compatible only with Centre Lock hubs
- Requires specific external lockring tool for installation
- Heavier than lightweight racing-specific rotors
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a Shimano-compatible external bottom bracket or lockring tool. Ensure the Centre Lock splines on the hub are clean before seating the rotor.
- Slide the rotor onto the hub splines.
- Install the provided lockring by hand to ensure it threads correctly.
- Use the external lockring tool to torque the component to the manufacturer's specified setting (typically 40 Nm).
For care, periodically check for surface contaminants. If performance decreases, wipe the rotor with isopropyl alcohol to remove brake dust or oil. Inspect the surface for deep scoring after heavy use in abrasive, sandy conditions.
