Unanswered Disc rotor lock ring fitment.

[Crazee horse]

So do brake rotors all have different lock rings, or are they all the same? Looking for some 203mm for my stereo pro and there's a million choices out there!

rotors come in two attachment types. Centrelock or 6 bolt attachment.
centrelock uses a splined interface held together with a lockring
6 bolt uses 6 bolts threaded into the hub shell,
centrelock rotors generally come with a lockring.
6 bolt rotors often come with the 6 disc rotor mounting bolts
some centrelock hubs require a specific lockring to fit - If so this will be supplied with the hub by the hub manufacturer,

Sorry mate I didn't use the proper terms, are all the splined interface the same presumably?

Yep

Yeah. centrelock spline is a commonly used standard.
If you do go CL make sure you whack that locknut up real tight. They have a tendency to come loose causing rotational play between the rotor and hub, and if ridden loose, over a period of time the can splines wear causing it to keep happening. you won't notice it when braking at speed but will when locking the brake and rocking the bike fack and forth.
