160 mm Brake Disc with 6 Holes and 44 mm Spacing for Electric Scooter or Bicycle

160 mm Brake Disc with 6 Holes and 44 mm Spacing for Electric Scooter or Bicycle

This 160 mm brake disc is a replacement part designed for electric scooters and bicycles. It features a 6-hole mounting pattern with a 44 mm bolt circle diameter (BCD), making it suitable for a range of braking systems that use this common standard. The disc is supplied with six mounting screws for convenient installation.

Key Features and Advantages

• 160 mm Diameter: A widely used size for many electric scooters and bicycles, offering a balance of braking power and weight.
• 6-Hole Mounting: Compatible with hubs and adapters designed for a 6-bolt rotor standard.
• 44 mm Bolt Spacing: Ensures a precise fit with compatible hubs and braking systems.
• Ventilated Design: The disc features multiple cut-outs and drilled holes to help dissipate heat during braking, which can contribute to consistent performance and reduce fade.
• Lightweight: Weighing approximately 156 grams, this disc helps minimize unsprung weight on your vehicle.

Compatibility and Installation

This brake disc is a dimensionally determined component. To ensure correct compatibility, it is crucial to verify that your existing brake system requires a 160 mm disc with a 6-hole, 44 mm bolt circle diameter mounting pattern. Please check the following before ordering:

• Current Disc Diameter: Measure the diameter of your existing brake disc.
• Mounting Pattern: Confirm that your hub or wheel is designed for a 6-bolt disc.
• Bolt Circle Diameter (BCD): Measure the distance between opposing bolt holes or refer to your vehicle's specifications to confirm a 44 mm BCD.
• Caliper Clearance: Ensure your brake caliper and frame/fork have adequate clearance for a 160 mm disc.

Incorrectly sized or mounted brake discs can lead to poor braking performance and safety hazards. If you are unsure about compatibility, compare the specifications and images provided with your current part.

Maintenance and Safety Guidance

Brake discs are critical safety components. Regular inspection and proper maintenance are essential:

• Bedding-In: After installation, new brake discs and pads require a "bedding-in" period. This involves a series of moderate stops to allow the pad material to transfer evenly onto the disc surface, optimizing braking performance.
• Wear Inspection: Regularly check the disc for signs of wear, such as scoring, warping, or thinning. Replace the disc if it shows significant wear or damage.
• Contamination: Keep the brake disc free from oil, grease, and other contaminants, as these can severely reduce braking effectiveness. Clean the disc with a dedicated brake cleaner if necessary.
• Bolt Tightening: Ensure all mounting bolts are tightened securely to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications. Over-tightening or under-tightening can cause damage or lead to unsafe operation.

For safe installation and optimal performance, it is recommended that brake components be installed by a qualified technician.
