Product Information

Full details

This Ashima Lightweight Centerlock Rotor Adaptor is designed for cyclists looking to adapt their Centerlock hubs to fit standard 6-bolt disc brake rotors. Its key benefit is enabling wider compatibility with existing brake components, especially for those with through-axle systems. A caveat to consider is its specific function for Centerlock hubs only.

FAQs

What is a Centerlock hub?

A Centerlock hub is a type of bicycle hub that uses a splined interface, similar to a cassette freehub, to mount a disc brake rotor. It requires a specific Centerlock rotor or an adaptor to mount.

Can I use this adaptor on any 6-bolt hub?

No, this adaptor is specifically designed to convert a Centerlock hub to accept 6-bolt rotors. It will not work on a hub that is already a 6-bolt standard.

What axle sizes does this adaptor support?

This adaptor supports 9mm, 10mm, 12mm, 15mm, and 20mm through axle standards.

Do I need special tools to install this adaptor?

You will need tools appropriate for removing and installing disc brake rotors and potentially a torque wrench to ensure correct tightening. Basic bicycle maintenance tools are usually sufficient.

Will this adaptor affect my braking performance?

When installed correctly and with a properly functioning rotor, the adaptor should not negatively affect braking performance. Proper torque and alignment are crucial.

Is this adaptor compatible with all 6-bolt rotors?

Yes, it is designed to be compatible with all standard 6-bolt disc brake rotors.

Troubleshooting

Rotor is not sitting true or is wobbling.

Ensure the adaptor is correctly seated on the Centerlock hub and all 6 rotor bolts are evenly tightened in a star pattern. Check for any debris on mounting surfaces.

Difficulty mounting the adaptor.

Confirm you are using a Centerlock hub and that the hub's Centerlock splines are clean and undamaged. Check that the axle size is compatible with the hub.

Brakes are noisy or underperforming after installation.

Check that the rotor is correctly aligned and that all mounting bolts (both for the adaptor and the rotor) are torqued to the manufacturer's specifications. Ensure the rotor surface is clean.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enables use of 6-bolt rotors on Centerlock hubs.
  • Compatible with a wide range of modern through-axle standards.
  • Lightweight construction.
  • Facilitates easier upgrades or component swaps.

Cons

  • Only functions for Centerlock hubs; not compatible with standard 6-bolt hubs.
  • Requires careful installation to ensure proper rotor alignment and security.
  • Adds an extra component, which could potentially be a point of failure if not maintained.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your hub is a Centerlock type.
  2. Verify your rotor is a standard 6-bolt disc brake rotor.
  3. Confirm your axle size matches one of the supported standards (9/10/12/15/20mm).
  4. Clean the Centerlock interface on the hub and the adaptor.
  5. Mount the adaptor onto the Centerlock hub, following the manufacturer's torque specifications.
  6. Mount the 6-bolt rotor onto the adaptor, ensuring all 6 bolts are installed and torqued according to rotor manufacturer guidelines.

Compatibility:

This adaptor is specifically designed to convert Shimano Centerlock hubs to accommodate standard 6-bolt disc brake rotors. It is compatible with hub axle standards of 9mm, 10mm, 12mm, 15mm, and 20mm through axles. It is not compatible with standard 6-bolt hubs or proprietary disc mounting systems.

Care:

Regularly inspect the adaptor and its mounting bolts for any signs of wear, damage, or loosening. Clean the adaptor with a mild degreaser and water, and dry thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. Ensure the rotor surface remains clean for optimal braking.
