Very high quality rotas. A strong design with lots of cooling holes. Easy to fit. Substantially heavier than the old ones I removed. Lots of extra stopping power! I'm using these on a hybrid bike.Amazon was the cheapest place I could find these rotas. I've previously tried bikehut and lifeline branded rotas, but found they were of a more inferior quality. It it always well-worth combining new rotas with new sets of brake pads at the same time. I found these Clarks ones (also sold by Amazon) are a good match Clarks Organic Disc Brake Pads for Shimano Deore Br-M515/M475/M525/M465/M495, Tektro Auriga Comp./Dracom Moto Aquila/HDC-300/MotaExpect your brakes to be very squeeky for the first couple of miles.

My bike originally came with the centre-lock equivalent to the SM-RT56 rotors. I did not appreciate how good they were until I had to have my wheels replaced, one after the other. I became frustrated by the reduced effectiveness and uneven pad wear of the replacement 6-bolt rotors supplied by the bike shop (two different brands), so I purchased these 6-bolt Shimano SM-RT56 rotors and a fresh set of Shimano B01S resin pads, resulting in an immediate return to the original performance of the braking system. Well worth the price.This review is specifically of the SM-RT56 6-bolt rotors. My star rating and review DOES NOT APPLY to any of the other products which have subsequently been merged into

Brilliant quality, bought these to replace the original disc rotors that came with my Cannondale Badboy after contamination caused them to slip.These rotors happen to be the same rotors that came on my new bike Cannondale CAAD12 2019. The stopping power along with my new pads is brilliant and feels like new again.The package came with the rotors, 6 bolts & two spacers.At this price you can afford to replace them once a year to keep your brakes sharp.

Upgraded from a Shram 160mm disc to this 180mm. Stopping power is good, wear seems to be OK despite being installed on a heavy steel framed E-bike. Took a little longer to bed this disc in than my previous one, however once it settled in it performed great, and so far not a single squeak or squeal. Resin pads only though, which is a shame as I feel a sintered pad could really help.Happy with the upgrade, and my bike stops much easier now.

Shimano rotors are usually good. Even though this one is a solid type and pretty basic I happily use this on the back of my bike. This has now well bedded in with compound pads. I also used ceramic pads on this with equally good result, but it's definitelly works better for me with classic compound ones. I have Sram brakes and Sram pads so using Shimano rotor is a little strange, but I find them better with heat and not bucking as much.

I liked this brake disc because of its apparent rigidity, with a well-designed central body that transmits that robustness expected in a high performance rotor, from the first moment the braking is powerful and progressive, which makes you feel a great confidence Since the first brakes, if we add to the price that this disc has enough, I think the purchase and installation of this disk of 180m / m has been the most successful

Brilliant Value, top quality as they should be. Comes with locking spring plates and screws. Cannot be beaten at this price.Bought to replace squeaky noisy brake and cured the problem. Bought the Sommet Resin pads to go with them they both work a treat. total margin complete replace of rota and pads for just £12Would recommend 100% do not be in any doubt.

Great product arrive on time and well packed which is very good in this case as if they get bent this can cause problems or render them useless if to bad very easy to install small Allen key bolts only takes a couple of minutes to do . A genuine shimano product . And are offering a lot better braking then the old worn set of the same rotor

Dear, I answered already but for one reason or another, the mail went out (I had somewhere login and create an account) The shipment, packaging, delivery at the neighbors (as requested) is all impeccably executed. Thanks! (I only fermented me in size: it must have a 185mm disc - I fear that you have available ...) A thick mercie !!!

I am astounded how well these disks have embedded in with just using them after a week. They are very well made, great stoppage if you have the right setup, even in the rain they seem to not squeak. I bought these to replace my Tekro disk breaks because they are appalling. Make sure you get the right disk pads though.

Great quality discs. Bought to replace a bent disc on my Wife's new boardman hybrid. The bike was collected from a long way from home and we didn't notice the bent disc until we got home. At this price and with a quick amazon prime delivery it was a better option than taking the bike back to the shop to get repaired.

Easy to fit, includes all screws and washers, you will need a Torx 25 spanner and preferably a bicycle torque wrench. As usual Shimano instructions in box are little more than a list of warnings not to be stupid, but include a link from where an installation guide can be downloaded.

I bought these to replace the original ones on my Boardman hybrid. Didn't think they would make much difference, but the difference is huge. Brakes are so much better, and no break squeal. They're light - but solid, good quality.

The disc is precisely fitting, easy to install (screws are included) and above all it is flat and flat. Have the brake disc mounted on a trekking bike. Here the braking effect is faultless and sufficient.

I ride downhill on occasion and I used this disk on the front of my bike after I bailed and bent the last one on a tree stump this was a perfect replacement even a slight upgrade.
