Product Description
Key Features:
- SM-RT86 Ice-Tec rotors give excellent performance made from a stainless steel / alloy 3-layer sandwich construction that manages heat while riding
- The clad steel/ alloy /steel rotor construction allows heat generated from braking to radiate quickly through the aluminium core achieving surface temperature drops of around 50 deg C. When used with Ice-Tec pads surface temperatures can drop from around 400 to 300 deg C, this gives great improvements in performance all round
- Ice-Tec rotors achieve long pad life, less noise and less fade due to improved heat dispersion
- 6-bolt mounting system
- Rotor contact surface has been developed for excellent pad clearing and cooling which increases pad performance and life
- Large forged alloy spider supports rotor surface, increasing rigidity and reducing weight

Shimano XT SM-RT86

by Anonymous user on 26/06/2018

I bought a pair of these to replace the rotors that were fitted as standard to my newish cross bike. The originals worked OK, but were noisy especially on the front and looked to be wearing the pads unevenly. Removing the old rotors and fitting the new ones was a simple task although the instructions provided by Shimano were a little out of date regarding the locking plates for the 6 bolts. I was moving up from 140mm rotors to 160mm rotors so had to alter the flat fit callipers and align with the new rotors, but that was fairly simple to sort. Breaking is now far more positive, uniform and now silent, very happy. I knocked half a star off on quality as one if the rotors was slightly marked, but it will not look new forever so wasn’t worth returning.

What are brakes?

We all know they’re what make your bike stop, but you get different types for different bikes, each with their own advantages.

Who needs brakes?

Anyone with a bike. Although having said that, some fixed wheel bikes don’t actually have a brake, just the resistance of the fixed wheel to slow them down. You should still fit a separate front brake for riding on the road though.

What are the choices?

You need the right brakes for your bike, whether that’s disc brakes or rim brakes. Each will have specific fittings on the frame and different types of wheels, so you can’t just mix and match. Disc brakes can be mechanical or hydraulic. Rim brakes can be single or dual pivot caliper brakes. You can even get coaster brakes and hydraulic rim brakes as more unusual choices.

What should I buy with them?

At some point you’ll need to buy replacement brake pads for your brakes. Might as well stock up with spares when you buy your new stoppers.

Anything else?

Brakes are incredibly important for safety – make sure you buy the right sort and set them up properly. Also, if you have rim brakes, check the braking surface of your wheel rim hasn’t been worn dangerously thin.
