FAQs

What is Ice Tech technology?

Ice Tech technology uses a three-layer sandwich structure (stainless steel/aluminum/stainless steel) to dissipate heat efficiently, reducing brake fade and improving performance.

What type of brake pads should I use?

Resin brake pads are recommended for optimal performance with the Shimano SM-RT70S rotors.

How do I clean my disc brake rotors?

Use a disc brake cleaner and a clean cloth to remove dirt, grease, and contaminants. Avoid touching the braking surface with your bare hands.

What is Centerlock mounting?

Centerlock mounting is a system that allows for quick and easy installation and removal of the rotor using a splined interface and a lockring.

How often should I replace my rotors?

Rotors should be replaced when they are worn thin or damaged. Regularly inspect the braking surface for wear and tear.

Can I use different size rotors?

Ensure the rotor size is compatible with your fork and frame. Commonly, 140mm or 160mm rotors are used. Check your bike's specifications.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will need a Centerlock lockring tool and a torque wrench to ensure proper installation.

Why is my braking performance poor?

Check for rotor contamination, ensure the brake pads are properly bedded in, and check for any mechanical issues with the brakes or rotors.

Troubleshooting

Brake noise or squealing

Clean the rotors with disc brake cleaner. Check for contamination on the brake pads. If the issue persists, replace the brake pads or rotor.

Brake fade during long descents

Ensure the rotors are properly bedded in. Check for contamination on the rotors. Consider using higher-quality brake pads if the issue continues.

Difficulty installing the rotor

Ensure the hub is clean and the rotor is properly aligned. Use the correct lockring tool and tighten to the specified torque. Check for any obstructions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Improved heat dissipation with Ice Tech technology.
  • Easy installation and removal with Centerlock mounting.
  • Consistent braking performance, reducing brake fade.
  • Quieter braking operation.
  • Durable construction for long-term use.

Cons

  • Requires compatible Centerlock hubs.
  • May require specific brake pads for optimal performance (resin).
  • Aluminum core can be susceptible to damage if mishandled.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your hub is Centerlock compatible.
  2. Clean the hub mounting surface.
  3. Align the rotor with the hub and secure it using the lockring and the correct tool.
  4. Tighten the lockring to the specified torque.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with Centerlock hubs.
  • Recommended for use with resin brake pads.
  • Check your frame and fork for rotor size compatibility (140mm or 160mm).

Care:

  • Clean rotors regularly with a dedicated disc brake cleaner to remove dirt, grease, and contaminants.
  • Avoid touching the braking surface with bare hands, as oil can contaminate the rotor.
  • Inspect rotors for wear and damage regularly. Replace if necessary.
  • Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasives.
