Shimano Center Lock Rotor Tool?
I have a 2017 Roubaix with disc brakes, and would like to know what tool I need to remove the rotors. They are center lock, not the six-bolt kind. Can someone point me to the right tool?

You need either a standard Shimano cassette tool, or a 16-notch BB tool.... the axle size determines which lockring you use.

Are you needing a replacement?
The lockring is either internally splined along the inside circumference, in which case you use a Shimano cassette lockring tool....or the lockring is externally notched on the external circumference, in which case you use a 16-noth BB tool,
You should only need to use the external-notch lockrings on hubs with a 15mm axle diameter or bigger.

Hi! Does anyone own the TL-LR10 tool? I'm asking because I'm looking for a single tool to do my rotor lock rings as well as the cassettes. I believe it will work for my front rotor and rear cassette, but the big question is: Will it slip over my 142x12mm rear thru axle for tightening the rear rotor center lock. Currently, my bike has a 16 spline lock ring on the front, and an external spline lock ring on the rear. The goal is to get them all the same so i can carry just one tool for touring. Thanks!
