Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the Tektro TR35, ensure your hub has a centerlock spline interface. You will need a standard external-bottom-bracket or cassette lockring tool to tighten the lockring properly.
- Slide the rotor onto the hub splines.
- Install the centerlock lockring by hand to avoid cross-threading.
- Use a torque wrench to tighten the lockring to the hub manufacturer's recommended specification (usually 40Nm).
- Wipe the rotor surface with isopropyl alcohol before your first ride to remove any manufacturing oils.
For maintenance, periodically inspect for gouges or extreme thinning. Clean with a dedicated brake cleaner or isopropyl alcohol, avoiding oil or chain lubricant, which will contaminate your brake pads.
