Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, verify that your wheelset utilizes a 6-bolt rotor mount; this kit is strictly incompatible with Center Lock adapters. When installing the MDR-P rotor, use a torque wrench to tighten the 6-bolt pattern to the manufacturer's specified values in a star pattern to ensure even pressure. During the initial setup, perform a proper 'bedding-in' procedure—multiple controlled stops from moderate speed—to transfer a thin layer of pad material onto the rotor surface, which is essential for optimal stopping power. Avoid using chemical cleaners on the rotor surface; if the rotor becomes contaminated with oil or grease, clean it with dedicated disc brake cleaner and a clean lint-free cloth. Regularly inspect the brake pads for thickness and replace them before the friction material is fully depleted to prevent damage to the rotor surface.
