How to mount your bicycle brake discs?

Useful information:

Time: 10 Minutes | Difficulty: 1/5 Easy | Tools: Torx T25 wrench (for 6-bolt rotors) or Cassette lockring tool (for Center-Lock rotors) and Torque wrench

STEPS:

  1. Remove the wheel from the bike and remove the old rotor using the Torx T25 wrench (6-bolt rotor) or cassette lockring tool (Center-Lock rotor).
  2. Place the new rotor on the wheel, observing the indicated direction of rotation.
  3. Tighten the 6 bolts (Torx T25 wrench) or the Center-Lock nut (cassette lockring tool), respecting the torque specified by the manufacturer.
  4. Once the rotor is mounted, perform a bedding-in procedure.
  5. Check the tightening again.

BLACK RIDER TIP: The screws are normally equipped with BLUE threadlocker. If your screws do not have threadlocker, we recommend using BLUE. We advise against using GREEN, as it can be very difficult to remove your screws later.

You are now ready to ride!
