Today as I was braking down a decline I heard a noise and felt something on the back of my bike. When I stopped to look my brake rotor was completely off of the hub. No bolts were left and it looks like 2 of the bolts actually snapped through the side of the hub. I ordered some new bolts but now that I'm looking closer at the wheel it looks like this hub mount piece isn't something that can be removed easily.
Will I need to buy a whole new hub/spoke/rim for the bike?
Does anyone have any experience with this happening or any ideas as to why this happened?
I'm pretty new to all of this so I would appreciate any help on how to get back on the road safely and any maintenance l've likely forgotten to do.
I've got a State 4130 with mechanical disc brakes if that info helps at all.

Dont use that hun again!! Was it a new bike? Or do you know who did the brakes? Maybe a wrong torque wsd applied or wrong grade of bolts used. If you bought this new i would contact the manufacturer and demand warranty replacement!
