Wow! Thanks for posting. I almost paid my local bike shop $50, the hourly shop service fee, to install mine. Cheaper for me to buy the tool and do it myself.
This video is really bad!!! Have you seen he touches his disc with the fat on his finger? DONT do this or clean it with alcohol after that. Such a error is a shame in a video to tell others how to repair their life insurance.
Important to know for my mtb buddies: the internal lockring-the one that works with the cassette tool is only usable for 12mm axles or slimmer. For your front wheel you will need the external lock ring - the one where you need a bottom bracket spanner.
The video is great thanks, I found that since my wheelset is quick release the locking tool can't be inserted properly because if the bolts holding the cup and cone. Have you got any advice, I can't get the bolt in afterwards either
Thank you so much for the video. Please tell me how do I set torque if the rotor has to be secured with the second type of rotor securing ring you showed with the spanner? I think I would need a lock ring crowfoot spanner or lockring socket so I can fix either to my torque wrench but I have had no luck finding such a tool. Can you pls help or advise me?
Thanks for your helpful videos. I have a question though as I will soon receive a new set of wheels from LB with DT240 exp hub : my current wheels have an external lock wheel on the front and in internal one on the rear. Should I keep the same set up or can I use internal lock ring on both ? I didn't really get the difference between the two. I'd appreciate your take on this as I see you went from external to internal on your setup.
Great video. I have a center lock disc brake with Shimano discs and the tool and it fits perfectly except...when I tighten it, it doesn't cinch up, it still has play. I don't know if I'm missing washers or if I just have to tighten more. Any ideas?
@@FreeToCycle Thanks, so you've confirmed I have all the right pieces. If I put it all together and tighten it but there's still play/looseness of the rotor, is it safe to tighten it more? I don't have a torque wrench that size so just want to make sure not to over tighten it. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to damage it if I start putting more oomph into it.
@@FreeToCycle legend. I installed the calipers last night with the aid of your video may I add. Worked like a charm. You're content is easy to follow and straight to the point. Keep up the good work my friend 👍🏾🤙🏾
Hi guys I've got the same wheel that didn't come with rotary or centre lock. Can anyone advise what centre lock would be compatible please. I'm gonna buy ice technology rotary.
There is this misconception about greasing parts, I watched this dream bike build a while ago and that guy was greasing absolutely everything and not just little but big amounts. The total amount of grease I use on putting together a bike is two finger dips that's it.

Patronize your LBS!!!
@@martinh3335r u stupid?
Thanks so much for this instructional. It is great for avid cyclist to have your channel as a source of thorough information. Cheers!
Finally entering into the world of disc and your video really helped explain some of the question I had.
Thanks for this, I just got centre lock wheels and a rotor and didn't know whether to remove the metal shim on the lock ring
Important to know for my mtb buddies: the internal lockring-the one that works with the cassette tool is only usable for 12mm axles or slimmer. For your front wheel you will need the external lock ring - the one where you need a bottom bracket spanner.
Yes for mtb forks with 15mm axles
Brilliant, simple explanations and excellent footage. Great help, thank you.
Simple and clear explanation, cheers dude
Thanks for the video! Very well explained :)
Thanks! Great video and very helpful!
Great channel, helps many people out. Many thanks.
thanks for posting
Super helpful. Nice one.
Thanks!
Thanks for video

what grease would you put on the splines/inside rotor? would Park Tool PPL-1 work good or is there any that woudl be better suited?
Great video. What size socket did you use on the torque wrench?
Thank you so much for the video. Please tell me how do I set torque if the rotor has to be secured with the second type of rotor securing ring you showed with the spanner? I think I would need a lock ring crowfoot spanner or lockring socket so I can fix either to my torque wrench but I have had no luck finding such a tool. Can you pls help or advise me?
You need an external tool such as the Park Tool BBT-69.2
Is the lock ring removal tool the same as the cassette tool?
Yes!
nice video. 1Q: are the lock rings interchangeable? i mean do they fit across hubs?
Yes the Shimano lock rings are interchangeable between wheels.
Let's imagine I want to do the reverse process, but the lock is not moving even after using a lot of power... :)
This is good
Thanks for your helpful videos.

I'd appreciate your take on this as I see you went from external to internal on your setup.
Internal if it’s a road bike!
Is the lock-ring tool the same as for Shimano Cassettes (also 40nm), or do you need a separate tool?
Yes same tool as Shimano lock-ring!
Can you use the internal lock ring on an MTB?
Great video. I have a center lock disc brake with Shimano discs and the tool and it fits perfectly except...when I tighten it, it doesn't cinch up, it still has play. I don't know if I'm missing washers or if I just have to tighten more. Any ideas?
There should be one thin silver washer behind the lock ring.
@@FreeToCycle Thanks. Yes, have that, but where does it go?
Behind the lockring!

Hi..
Great video.
May i ask, if we over tightened the centerlock. Will it cause the wheel rolling to be stiffer?
No!
Hi sir. I have a quesstion. Why my cassette removal tool doesn’t fit in my disc rotor centerlock. Is there any special tool to use?
Nice video, is the spanner at the end a BB wrench?
The tool is a Shimano TL-FC32 bb spanner.
@@FreeToCycle thank you 👍🏻
You don't happen to know if these discs fit in any mechanical calipers like the trp Spyre and juin tech?
Yes they will work fine!

Rotar
What size socket do you need to fit on the lock ring?
In most cases you need 24 mm socket
Can you please tell me the inner diameter of that thru axle hub, is it a 12mm or a 15mm diameter?
Thanks!
12mm thru axle, you can’t use a centre lock disc with 15mm axles.
@@FreeToCycle Thank you!
15mm mtb use the larger external locking that uses the bb tool to fit/remove
Didn't he just smear grease over his new disc rotor?
There is this misconception about greasing parts, I watched this dream bike build a while ago and that guy was greasing absolutely everything and not just little but big amounts. The total amount of grease I use on putting together a bike is two finger dips that's it.
was that Hope video mate?
do lock rings normally come with the hubs or the rotors?
If you purchase a new wheelset then the lock rings are usually included, same if you buy a disc rotor the lock ring will be included with it!
@@FreeToCycle Thanks!
Depends on the brand of rotor. Shimano usually provides lock rings with rotors. Other brands such as TRP do not include the lock rings.
Thanks for the video. It was helpful. 👍
