Reviews over the

Shimano RT-CL800

The discs look nice when on the fiest, easy to fit and have good stopping power. Had trouble choosing because I wasn't sure what they meant by external or internal lockring. But teeth on the outside is external and teeth on the inside is internal lockring..... well how hard can it be ;-)

Pros & Cons

Compared to the RT-MT800, I've gained in power and didn't notice any noise or vibration during the descent of Mont Ventoux in cautious mode (so the brakes were more solicited).

Very happy with it, easy to install with centre lock. Reliable performance and responds well.

Pros & Cons

Nice discs. They are similar in specifications to the more expensive (Dura Ace) version. I find no difference except that the more expensive version has black 'cooling surfaces' in the disc and these are silver. The XTR version is still a bit lighter but a bit clunkier in shape. Discs are plug and play, absolutely straight and they brake very well straight out of the box. Definitely recommended.

Pros & Cons

Quality discs with excellent service life, low smearing and effective, silent braking even in the rain
