FAQs

What is the weight of the rotor?

The 180mm rotor weighs 146g.

What is a floating rotor?

A floating rotor has a braking surface that is riveted to a central carrier, which allows for better heat dissipation and reduces brake fade.

What tools are required for installation?

You'll need a torque wrench, disc brake cleaner, and possibly a set of hex keys.

Can I use these rotors with any brake pads?

These rotors are compatible with most disc brake pads, but it's always best to check the pad manufacturer's recommendations.

How often should I replace the rotors?

Replace the rotors when they are worn down to the minimum thickness specified by the manufacturer or if they are damaged.

How do I clean the rotors?

Use a disc brake cleaner and a clean rag to remove any dirt or debris. Avoid getting any cleaner on the brake pads.

Troubleshooting

Brakes are noisy or rubbing.

Check the alignment of the brake caliper and rotor. Ensure the rotor bolts are tightened correctly. If the issue persists, the brake pads may need to be replaced or the rotor may be warped.

Poor braking performance.

Check for contamination on the rotor surface (oil, grease). Clean the rotor with a disc brake cleaner. Inspect the brake pads for wear and tear. Ensure the brake system is properly bled.

Rotor bolts keep loosening.

Use a torque wrench to tighten the bolts to the recommended specifications. Consider using thread locker for added security.
