Fitting new rotors - Deore RT51's / Resin pads ?

iandennis

I picked up some 160mm rotors from chain reaction to fit on my spare set of wheel but have a couple of questions.

The torx bolts - what size screwdriver do I need ? I'm popping into halfords tomorrow so was hoping to pick one up.

The disc say resin pads only ? I have standard deore pads are these ok ?

There are three little shims that look to join bolts together - do I need these ?

Thanks

Ian

Torx bolts need a torx driver. Halfords sell one with three ends.
Yes Deore pads are resin.
No idea. Presumably to shim the discs to make sure they are straight.

You need a Torx set not screwdriver. Halfords do some cheap ones if your stuck, it's a multi-tool with about 8 different sizes.

The Torx screws are T25.

I have no idea what you mean with the shims. Any chance of a pic ?

Thanks,

I'll pick up a torx driver tomorrow.

The shims are a sort of half moon double ender, will post a pic tomorrow but Cooldad is probably right, shims for making sure discs are straight.

they are lock tabs to stop the shimano rotor bolts rotating.

reading a manual can be useful.
