Full details

The Hope RX Road Centrelock Floating Disc Rotor is an ideal choice for road cyclists who prioritize consistent braking performance and heat management during long descents. Engineered with a custom steel braking surface riveted to an aluminum carrier, this floating design prevents warping and enhances durability, though users should be aware that the center-lock lockring is not included in the package and must be sourced separately.

FAQs

Is the center-lock lockring included?

No, the center-lock lockring is not included with the rotor and must be purchased separately.

What is the benefit of a floating rotor?

A floating rotor allows the steel braking surface to expand and contract due to heat independently of the carrier, which significantly reduces the risk of warping.

Can I use this with a six-bolt hub?

No, this rotor is specifically designed for center-lock hub interfaces. Using a six-bolt hub would require a third-party adapter, which is not recommended.

What tools do I need for installation?

You will need a standard center-lock cassette or rotor lockring tool.

Are these rotors compatible with all brake pads?

These rotors are compatible with most standard road disc brake pads, but ensure your pads are properly bedded in after installation.

Troubleshooting

Rotor movement or clicking sound

Check that the center-lock lockring is torqued to the manufacturer's specification. Slight movement in floating rotors is normal, but excessive play suggests an loose lockring.

Brake judder or pulsing

Clean the rotor with isopropyl alcohol to remove contaminants. If issues persist, check the brake pads for uneven wear or glazing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent heat management prevents rotor warping
  • Lightweight design suitable for high-performance road bikes
  • Secure center-lock interface for easy installation
  • Robust construction with durable materials

Cons

  • Lockring is not included with the rotor
  • Requires specific center-lock hub compatibility
  • Floating design may be more expensive than standard solid rotors

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Hope RX Road Centrelock rotor requires a standard center-lock tool. Ensure your hub is center-lock compatible before purchasing, as this rotor will not fit six-bolt hub interfaces without an adapter. When installing, ensure the splines are properly aligned to prevent damage to the hub. It is important to remember that the necessary lockring is not included with this product. For care, keep the braking surface clean of oils and debris. Use isopropyl alcohol to wipe down the surface periodically to maintain optimal friction and prevent brake noise.
