bent brake rotor

[jeremy_283]

my rear brake rotor is a little bit bent...... its not affecting performance or anything but i was wondering if you guys think i need to get a new rotor anyways?

Deffinitly get a new one, it could get worse and eventually screw something up.

yea a bent rotor will wear out brake pads real quick, so id fix it before it gets worse

I had some brake rotor bending issues. I went throu a cupple stockers, and one hub.

Then I got a moose rotor that was soposed to be prety ruged. which it is. But I still bent it on a rock passing my buddie off the trail.

I usually just take a long adjustible wrench and bend it back. It gets it prety close. And yes it does wear out the break pads faster. But the caliper set up seems to have some slop in it anyways, so a little bend in the rotor wont be noticible.


On one of my rotors I bent up prety good, I bent it back alright with a rock. But it was still prety bad. It ate throu the whole pad and moast of the steel part to.
