    Hi guys, I’m trying to fit a centerlock wheel (Shimano Deore) to a 6 bolt rotor. I bought a superstar component adaptor which has 6 bolts with no heads. How does the rotor fit around these bolts?
    The adaptor bolts aren’t the same size as the rotor bolts.
    Anyone know what I’m doing wrong?
    Cheers

    I see the SS website isn’t exactly helpful!

    Do you sandwich the disc between the 2 parts of the adapter? That’s the only thing I could see half working from this photo:

    Put the adapter on the hub, bolts facing up, then put the rotor on the adapter then put the thin part on the rotor, then put the lockring on and tighten it up, the locking holds it all in place

    Thats what I thought Khani, but the bolts don’t seem to fit very well in the rotor.
    If you look at the red adaptor in the photo Legend has kindly posted it shows the threads all the way to the end so you end up with a badly fitted rotor. Doesn’t feel right.

    If the rotor sits flush on the mount and there’s no play when it’s tightened up it should be ok, try a different rotor as well, it might be slightly different

    I have this and I have no problems

    You can raise and lower the 6 bolts to suit the thickness of the rotor.

    These bolts sounds like a bit of a red herring.
    Cheers for your time, will give this a try tomorrow.

    I have just bought the SS ones and am awaiting new wheels to fit them. I similarly was wondering what the thin shiny bit is for

    Put the adapter on the hub, bolts facing up, then put the rotor on the adapter then put the thin part on the rotor, then put the lockring on and tighten it up, the locking holds it all in place

    and wondering why the linked SJS one doesn’t have that part ?

    because it doesn’t need it. Rotor sits holes sit in the bolts and is held in place by the lock ring.

    yeah, I thought that, wondering what the difference is with the SS one ? I am guessing the bolts must sit proud, so it acts as a spacer to allow the lockring to screw down tight ?
