I can see this was published in 2014... but I still see comments about the fixing bolts and lock washers. If you haven't noticed, the current bolts have 'teeth' underneath the bolt head. These work with the upturned fingers on the 3 lock washers. Those fingers and the teeth on the bolts help to keep the bolt from unscrewing. So... while you may get away with not using the lock washers... it's not spec and won't be under warranty if you don't use them. . Just thought I'd pass that along... :)

And how does it perform compared to older rotors? Ehat brakes do u have? Can u now use metal pads even though u have deore caliper?

You can get away using metal pads in the city and for slow rides. Deore and lower has resin calipers which can melt if the pads become too hot.

Don't know if important but Shimano say to put gloves on and when tightening then to put rotational pressure. Guess readies for the coming forces?

+LoveMTB it's very weird. Appart from crashes rotors bend after overheating too much. And the main purpose of this feature is to stop them from overheating. I can't wait to see if the set I just bought will remain straight

New bolts have teeth which lock with the washers. And as for the "Loctite": You're supposed to remove it when you recycle a bolt (use a nylon or brass brush or the like), and apply a fresh coat.

nope, your brakes need the wide type of rotor. with that kind of calipers you cannot use two-piece rotors like the one shown here.

They work on recent Shimano M8000, not on older makes and model -- the inner spider is too large. You lose 3/8" to 1/4" of brake surface when adjusting the calipers on traditional Avid and Hayes brakes, making the brake useless. Your video did not put the wheel on the bike!

@amermeleitor 3 жыл бұрын

@@Assimilator702 I take off the rotors when wash the bike, when lube the bike, when inspect and grease the hubs, etc. If you have 6 bolts is a PITA, and when you have damaged the bolt head it is more pita then. Since using center lock I have never had a problem with it. Everything is faster, easier and simpler.
