As tester said, the force to overcome the friction of the lockring would be high. Even if there is slop in the splines, if the lockring was doing its job and holding the rotor at 50nm, you wouldn't be able to move it by hand
Exactly. There’s just no way the rotor could move if it’s being clamped down correctly at the proper torque.
Think about a 6 bolt rotor, there’s loads of slop before the bolts are tightened. Much more slop than the centerlock spline interface.
