Product Information
Full details
The Shimano STEPS SM-RTC60 5-bolt rotor is designed for cyclists seeking durable and lightweight braking performance, especially when paired with SG-C6000 Nexus hubs. Its unique 5-bolt attachment and precision-cut braking surface enhance pad clearing in dirty conditions and improve cooling under high loads, offering reliable stopping power. A key caveat is its specific compatibility with 5-bolt mounting systems.

FAQs
What type of hub does this rotor require?
This rotor requires a hub with a 5-bolt mounting pattern, such as the Shimano SG-C6000 Nexus hub.
What is the diameter of this rotor?
This is a 160mm diameter rotor.
Does this rotor come with mounting bolts?
Yes, the rotor comes complete with mounting bolts.
How does the coaster brake feature work?
The coaster brake is integrated into the hub and engages when you pedal backward, providing an additional braking force.
How should I clean the rotor?
Clean the rotor with a degreaser specifically designed for bicycle components or isopropyl alcohol. Avoid using lubricants or automotive brake cleaners, as they can contaminate the pads and rotor surface.
Can I use this rotor with hydraulic disc brakes?
While the rotor itself is designed for disc brake systems, ensure your brake caliper and lever are compatible with this rotor size and mounting standard.
What is the benefit of the precision-cut braking surface?
The precision-cut and drilled braking surface helps to clear away mud, water, and debris, ensuring consistent braking performance even in dirty or wet conditions. It also aids in cooling.
Troubleshooting
Brake noise or squealing
Ensure the rotor is clean and free of contaminants. Check that the rotor bolts are tightened to the correct torque specification. Bed in the brake pads and rotor according to the brake manufacturer's instructions.
Reduced braking power
Clean the rotor and brake pads. Check for wear on the rotor surface and pads. Ensure the brake system is properly bled (if hydraulic) or adjusted (if mechanical).
Rotor appears warped
Visually inspect the rotor for any visible bends. If warped, it may need to be replaced. Ensure it was installed correctly and that the mounting bolts are secure.
