Abstract
A disc brake rotor comprises an internally disposed splined surface defining a circular opening and including one or more axially disposed internal splines that are adapted to be received on external splines of a splined structure of a wheel hub, the surface including a non-continuity such as a cut-away portion of the surface into which independent splines are selectively actuable to align with the internal splines as a part of the surface to allow the rotor to be connected to or released from the hub without using any tools or the like. Preferably, the independent splines are finger actuable, and provide through a workpiece comprising a locking hammer of locking foot.
