Adapters come with cheap T10 torx screws that stripped out using Park tools torx wrench. Not only did I waste my money on adapters but also ruined my rotors leaving me out another $150.

Allowed me to adapt a 6 bolt disc rotor to center lock.

As others have mentioned; this is a good adapter and needs to go on one way, even though it looks like it flips both ways.With this adapter, I went from using a 203mm Shimano (XT MT800, ice tech) up to a TRP 223mm rotor (the TRP 223mm 2.3mm thick rotor does not come in center lock). The MT800 is a fantastic rotor, but since I have been riding more trails with extended steep descents + 50lb e-bike, I needed an even more insane rotor.Out of the box install positioned the rotor and speed sensor in contact with the frame (see photos).I lapped/wet sanded and removed just a hair over 1mm of material from the 6-bolt adapter, sanding the side that contacts the rotor (see photo). This solved my problem (before and after photos)!Other than that this works awesome!

Worked perfectly to mount a shimano disc rotor to a center lock config.

So Shimano really nailed it with this adapter. The edge that faces the hub is slightly chamfered to make installing onto the hub splines insanely easy and smooth. The bolts to mount the rotor to it are torx, so keep that in mind. The lock ring is extremely well machined and very well threaded. I highly recommend this if your looking for an adapter.

Shimano always provides high quality products and i am fully trusting this brand. this product worked great but only the thing is that flat-head screws must be used for the disc installation. if you use round-head screws, it conflict to the center lock nut. the screws are included so good for the first disc installation, but it will be inconvenient for the future disc replacement.

I saw a review on the “easier to install” center lock adapters (the ones that press in and then thread on, no bolts). I have them. After 800 miles they have started to create a divit in the metal that is the main part of the center lock adapter, which worries me. Bought these to replace them and the bolts fit snug with no movement like the other alternative. When it comes to braking I’d like to make sure nothing is going to break over time rendering a crash or mechanical failure far from home. Go with these and take the extra time to install the 6 bolts, it’ll be worth it and safer for you while riding.

I needed a new Centerlock adapter to replace an aluminum Bontrager model that I managed to wear out the threads after replacing probably my third rotor (I commute 20-40 miles a day). They did not strip due to cross threading, at least that I could tell, but just from too many removal/install cycles using a calibrated torque wrench (for the final torque step after hand threading). Before I hit the 40nM point, the resistance just went from slight to nothing. Removal saw little bits of thread come out. I was worried they were bits of the Shimano dynamo hub, but they were not magnetic and definitely felt aluminum.That preface out the way, the Shimano Centerlock adapter works fine. It comes with six bolts, with thread locker already applied, and ready to go. Installing it was a cinch using a torque wrench in the usual manner. The locknut portion was easy to start the install by hand, but you do need the appropriate adapter to complete the tightening. If I am wrong, I will correct it, but I am fairly certain I used a Park Tool BBT-49, now the 49.2 model , bottom bracket tool along with a 3/8" torque wrench such as this Tekton, which I also use .The big selling point is that it is steel, so I expect no issues with thread damage. If you need a new adapter, I highly recommend this one, a genuine Shimano piece.

I don't know why centre lock adapters are so expensive, they are a tiny piece of metal, but it fit into my wheels perfectly.
