Review on πŸ”„ Aluminium Center-Lock to 6-Bolt Disc Brake Rotor Adapter for Converting Shimano Hubs to Fit 6-Bolts Rotors, Center-Lock Adapter for 12mm Thru-Axle Hub, Fit 6 Rotors, QR Compatible Version by Nguyen Taylor

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very easy to use, best brake parts

I liked the Shimano adapter until I got this one which seems to be a variant of the Origin8 version. The outer plate has 6 teeth onto which the rotor is simply pushed, then the back of the adapter is put on and the whole thing is held together with a locking ring. The tooth profile was tight on the hub so there was no movement and the disc was clamped really well. I tried taking it apart and a little prying with a flathead screwdriver worked great. For example, a later replacement of the rotor would not require T15 bits on the screws, which would be difficult to replace if damaged. Bought another for a front wheel after seeing how well it worked for a rear wheel.

Pros
  • rotors
Cons
  • operating speed
