I also just ordered the kit. Does it not come with another nut? I assumed it would. | ||

I was "lucky" enough to run into the same problems as the guinea pig for the the rotor exchange. I read through all the service documentation and I had all of my ducks lined up, so I read them a list of parts that I needed when I placed my order over the phone. By planning ahead I was lucky enough to get everything in one box. I spent a *LOT* of time on the phone putting it all together. I suggested that to avoid answering these same questions every time someone orders a rotor, they might consider offering a complete "kit" for the rotor exchange, including a rotor nut, loctite 272, a spare gasket, instructions, etc. We talked about two differing schools of thought on this. One says that a retail (street) customer wants to buy a complete turnkey kit, complete with all the special tools, parts, threadlocking adhesives and instructions, so that he can do the complete rotor exchange on his own. The other school of thought says that they're selling individual parts to racing teams who are properly equipped to do the work and have tools and spare parts on-hand. The parts get sold ala carte so that someone doesn't get stuck paying for parts that they don't want or need. The "no-kit" school of thought also says that if someone doesn't have all the proper tools and knowledge to do the job, then they should hire a properly equipped technician to do the work for them. They cited not having the proper threadlocker or the the 300 ft-lb torque wrench as good reasons to hire a professional technician. As a customer, I was hoping for turnkey kit, but that's not how they decided to sell things. It's easier to just sell individual parts. I think the rotor nut is a definite kink in the exchange service -- something that they'll iron out once the phone starts ringing. I think it would be helpful if the other parts that you might need to order, like the rotor nut, a replacement gasket, etc. were available via the web site so that you could do one stop shopping without having to make a phone call. | ||

Heck, they could still build a kit. Include a "breaker bar" made out of steel that will snap into a socket, and make the breaker bar a 1 time use "fusable link" in the middle that will yield at 300 ft-lbs. Personally, I just take my current weight (no cheating), calculate how many inches out is appropriate, and just stand on my 2 foot (non ratchet) breaker bar. They could do that too... build a little JavaScript calculator to put on the website. |
