DNA Monster Mamoths

I am putting on the new spoke rotors and pulley on my new DNA wheels so I can get the tires put on and balanced. My rotors are countersunk on one side where the mounting bolts go through. I am assuming the bolts go through the side that is countersunk. Is this correct? I can't remember if my mesh rotors were countersunk or not but I don't believe they were. Anybody been through this over the winter and recall?

Thanks

It's been a few years for me, I can't remember but if that is how they are on now, put the new one on the same.

Yes your bolts are rounded to fit into the rounded countersunk holes on your rotors. Don't forget to use some blue loctite.

Thx for the replies. I went ahead and put the rotors on as you described...its really the only thing that makes sense. I used the blue 243 locktite and the specified torque. I need to drop them off at the shop and have the tires mounted.

Thanks again!

Are you planning on running tubes in your DNAs? I just ask because their has been alot of bad reviews on those rims lately for leaking, including one rider that has his go flat while exiting off a freeway I think.

They are definitely nice looking rims though...

Well i guess im one of the lucky ones because my DNA is leakproof with no tubes. But if i were to do it all over again i would run tubes to be safe.. Good Call.
