Slightly bent brake rotor?

[TheLane]

Is it possible to have these straightend as opposed to buying a brand new one? Somehow it bent but just slightly enough to make a nice rub and spread my caliper every time it goes around.

I know you can turn a rotor for a car at a shop, would the same thing apply you think?

You can straighten it. But you won't get it perfect, and it will be weaker than a new one (more likely to bend again). You can't turn it like a car rotor. I would go ahead and replace it, for as cheap as they are.

yeah, its not bent much, just enough to be annoying, and thats really honestly 100$ i dont want to spend right now.

Rubber mallet. It will be weak, but it will get you by.

My 525 does the same thing. I know what youre going through with the price problem on those rotors :(

Get a really big crescent wrench, tighten the wrench up so it just slips over the rotor and bend it back. A new one is just going to do the same thing anyways. :o
