i have absolutely no idea what just happened. i was out tonight doing my usual cycling rounds and all of a sudden i feel like i’ve lost all braking power to my front wheel. came back home to inspect and found this.
anyone knows that’s the issue?
[HELP!] Rotor Stopped But Wheels Keep Rolling

Looks like centerlock adapter is loose.
Remove the rotor and look.
What? Where is your centerlock ring?
take the wheel out, take off the disc and show us the centerlock teeth, i think you may have stripped them because of the missing center lock ring!
Looking at the second half of your video on a large screen, I see no indication this is a centerlock rim with an adapter, but I may be wrong. So please take your wheel out of the bike and pull the rotor off the hub (I bet you can) and show us some photos of what you got.
I suspect you have a broken hub.
Whatever interface holds your disc to your hub is jacked, meaning the hub itself is likely jacked irreparably in some way.
I doubt that is a center lock ring. Your hub has most likely broken. Remove the wheel and see if the disc comes off.
It’s a cheap hub with threaded part of the hub which has 6 bolt disc adapter that threads onto the hub. If you roll backwards and brake it can unscrew itself. You can see that in the second part of the video, it moves outwards.
If it doesn’t stop spinning when braking while moving forward, it’s probably stripped threads (adapter is aluminium, so it’s quite easy).
If the adapter ‘s threads are stripped, you are lucky because it’s a cheap part to replace, if it hub – getting a new wheel would be a solution
Lol i never seen this.
Don’t ride! Walk to shop and get it fixed. May need a new wheel.
What make and model is this?
anti-lock brakes

It almost looks like it has one of these types of adaptor on it (with the threads all torn up). But I’ve never seen such a thing on a front wheel.
I’d be tempted to get another pre built wheel, with a 6 bolt rotor mount integrated, they’re not so expensive.
That thing’ll probably kill you before you even learn much, the axle tabs on the fork look nasty as hell.
