FAQs
Can I use this rotor with non-Shimano brakes?
Yes, it is compatible with most hydraulic disc brake systems that accept a 200mm rotor, provided your frame and caliper adapter support 200mm sizing.
Does this rotor come with bolts?
Yes, the product includes all necessary mounting hardware for a 6-bolt installation.
Is this rotor compatible with Center Lock hubs?
No, this is a 6-bolt rotor. To use it on a Center Lock hub, you would need an aftermarket 6-bolt to Center Lock adapter.
What is the recommended break-in period?
Perform 10-20 moderate-to-hard stops from a medium speed to bed the pads into the rotor surface for optimal performance.
Can I use this on my road bike?
While technically possible if your frame supports 200mm rotors, this component is optimized for mountain and gravity biking and may be oversized for road bikes.
Troubleshooting
Rotor rubbing against pads
Loosen the caliper mounting bolts, squeeze the brake lever firmly, and re-tighten the bolts while holding the lever down to re-center the caliper.
Brake squealing under load
Clean the rotor with isopropyl alcohol and verify the brake pads are not contaminated with oil or residue.
Excessive vibration during braking
Check all six mounting bolts for proper torque and ensure the rotor is perfectly flush against the hub flange.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior heat dissipation due to 2.2 mm thickness
- Excellent performance in muddy and wet conditions
- Enhanced durability for high-load braking scenarios
- Includes all necessary mounting hardware for installation
Cons
- Heavier than standard lightweight rotors
- Not compatible with Center Lock hubs without an adapter
- Potentially excess stopping power for casual road or light gravel use
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the RT-6B750 is straightforward using a standard Torx T25 wrench.
- Ensure your hub is set up for a 6-bolt interface.
- Place the rotor on the hub, ensuring the directional arrows face the direction of wheel rotation.
- Apply thread locker to the included bolts if they are not pre-applied.
- Tighten the bolts in a star pattern to the manufacturer's specified torque (usually 2-4 Nm).
For maintenance, keep the braking surface free of oil and grease; use only isopropyl alcohol for cleaning. If you experience squealing, perform a standard bedding-in procedure for your new pads and rotor to ensure a smooth transfer layer.
