FAQs

Can I use this rotor with a 6-bolt hub?

No, this rotor is exclusively designed for the Shimano Centrelock mounting system.

What is the weight of the 160mm version?

The 160mm version weighs approximately 153g.

Does this rotor come with a lockring?

Typically, the Centrelock lockring is included with the hub or rotor kit; please verify the contents of your specific packaging.

Is this rotor compatible with metal or resin pads?

It is designed to work with standard Shimano disc brake pad compounds; check your brake caliper documentation for specific pad compatibility.

Why is the alloy spider important?

The alloy spider reduces weight while increasing the rigidity of the rotor, preventing warping under high thermal loads.

Troubleshooting

Brakes are squealing during operation

Clean the rotor with isopropyl alcohol to remove contaminants or check if brake pads are glazed and require replacement.

Rotor is rubbing against the brake pads

Check that the wheel is seated correctly in the dropouts and perform a caliper alignment to center the pads over the rotor.

Lockring is loose

Use a proper Shimano lockring tool to tighten the ring to the specified torque. Do not over-tighten as it may damage the splines.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent heat dissipation under high loads
  • Lightweight alloy spider improves rigidity
  • Effective at clearing mud and trail debris
  • Contributes to longer brake pad lifespan

Cons

  • Not compatible with 6-bolt hub standards
  • Requires specific Centrelock tool for installation
  • Limited to specific Shimano disc brake pad compounds

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the RT64 rotor, you must have a Shimano Centrelock-compatible hub and a standard lockring tool. Align the rotor splines with the hub splines, slide the rotor on, and thread the lockring on by hand before tightening to the manufacturer's specified torque rating.

Compatibility Note: This rotor is strictly for Centrelock hubs. If you are currently running a 6-bolt system, this rotor will not fit without an adapter.

Care Instructions: Keep the braking surface free of oils, greases, and cleaning products to prevent brake squeal and loss of friction. Clean the rotor periodically with isopropyl alcohol to remove trail grime and maintain optimal stopping power.
