Rotors

[Cardy George]

Sorry.

Do I have to delete my account now? I swear to only ride an e-bike in order to truly understand their uselessness

Just a bit of information to post here.

Not all Shimano Centrelock lock rings are created equally

While removing RT64's (SLX) rotors and replacing them with MT800's (XT) I noticed something different.

I had already done the front wheel and was doing the back, I lifted the packet and tore the lockring from underneath... wow thats lighter.

The lockring that came with the XT rotors is made of alu, the SLX level (or maybe lower as its OEM) is made of steel.

Thank you for weighing both, the maths is mind boggling

I'm dumping photos off my old phone, preparing for a hand me down to phone-smashers.

Funny I can work, ride and get black-out drunk but still manage to keep a telephone with no cracks or damage for nearly 2 years, those 2 boys of mine, it will be cracked in a week.

Dad will fix it.

Diggin !

Recently got a bike that has 220mm rotors front and back, 6 bolt SM-RT66 rotors fitted as standard. At 220mm and 1.8mm(ish) thick, they are very flimsy and susceptible to warping/rubbing after a relatively modest descent.

Haven't had 6 bolt hubs or wheels on my main MTB's since about 2018. What is this throwback ?

Looking to replace them with something more substantial.

Without spending $400 on pair of Hope rotors.. was looking at the Magura MDR-P 6 bolts.

Anyone using them ? How do they go with Shimano quad piston brakes ? Any rubbing on fork legs, brake adaptors etc ?

$59au each at R2, got a set in the basket ready to go... and be kicked around the Frankfurt hangar for a month.

Doesn't need it. I have Trickstuff Power pads here for the brakes, came with sintered pads in the M8120s and 220mm rotors, they are as powerful as I have felt with a set of brakes.

Same brakes with 200/180 on my Deviate don't feel as solid. They will also get a bleed and TS power pads soon.

Oooohhh... one in stock, in my numbers and colour too o_O https://www.summitcycles.bike/product/ibis-oso-sram-gx-fox-performance-medium-storm-blue/ Can’t make that a good looking bike any way you keep looking at it. Plus the seat tube angle is waaayyyy off.

@moorey told me to use Chat GPT on here to deal with chunts so I can be truly happy and stress free.

Just visiting the darkside.

hmmmm... just finished 75hrs of nights. Might visit it today as I'm feeling groggy.

Might even visit the pub for a couple on the way home.

Maybe that's why @mooreybot keeps telling it's "living his best life" with a subtly aggressive undertone.

He had a robot do laser things around his man bits and soon after bought an e-thingy. Hmm.

He asked it a question, waited for the AI bot answer then uploaded a picture of a little Mexican girl, a monkey with bulging eyes and a bruised arse. This confused the bot and made it angry

I can't see your Spur in the For Sale section, better if just PM me about the sale.
