Abstract
A wheel assembly includes a wheel hub and brake rotor that rotate about an axis. The brake rotor includes an outer circumferential surface area that cooperates with brake pads to provide braking for the wheel assembly. The brake rotor includes an inner circumferential surface area that has two different sets of mounting bosses. A first set of mounting bosses is spaced circumferentially about the axis and provides a mounting interface for a tone ring as used in an anti-lock brake system. A second set of mounting bosses is also spaced circumferentially about the axis but does not overlap the first set of mounting bosses. The second set of mounting bosses provides a mounting interface for securing a brake rotor and tone ring assembly to the wheel hub.
