Bike Brake Rotors

Looking to buy Bike Brake Rotors?

Bike brake rotors are an essential component of any bike's braking system. They are the circular metal discs that are attached to the wheel hub and are responsible for slowing down or stopping the bike when the brake pads clamp down on them. If you're a UK customer shopping for bike brake rotors, you'll find a wide range of options on OnBuy's website.

One of the key features of bike brake rotors is their size. They come in different diameters, ranging from 140mm to 203mm, and the size you choose will depend on the type of bike you have and the type of riding you do. For example, if you have a mountain bike and you ride on steep terrain, you may want to opt for a larger rotor size to provide more stopping power.

Another important feature of bike brake rotors is their material. Most rotors are made from stainless steel, which is durable and resistant to corrosion. However, some high-end rotors are made from other materials, such as aluminium or carbon fibre, which are lighter and offer better heat dissipation.

When shopping for bike brake rotors, you'll also want to consider the type of rotor you need. There are two main types: six-bolt and centre lock. Six-bolt rotors are attached to the hub using six bolts, while centre lock rotors use a special lock ring to attach to the hub. Centre lock rotors are becoming increasingly popular due to their ease of installation and removal.

Finally, it's worth noting that some bike brake rotors come with additional features, such as cooling fins or a wave design, which can help to dissipate heat more effectively and improve braking performance.

Overall, bike brake rotors are a crucial component of any bike's braking system, and choosing the right rotor can make a big difference to your riding experience. Whether you're a casual rider or a serious cyclist, OnBuy's range of bike brake rotors has something to suit every need and budget.
