Hey I was out ridin yesterday and I noticed that I had a bent rear rotor. It doesn't look too bad. I was wonderin if there would be a way to straighten it and have it still work fine? I was thinkin a hydraulic press or somethin? not sure.
Thanks

It'll never be as straight as a new one, which in turn will cause you to go thru brake pads like a mofo....:eek: Get a new one..:cool:

Bent my disc 1st ride.

On my 3rd set of pads in 6 months.
You'd think I'd get around to fixing it wouldn't you.

Just one of those "gunna" do jobs.

how much was that?



it all depends on how bad its bent...my has a slight bend but its really not affecting my pads that much, if it was bent worse it'd obviously be takin chunks of my pads away

There's a BIG difference in being bent and slightly bent. I guess I coulda asked how bad is it bent..:o

It isn't bent too bad. I think I am just gunna try to get it bent so it is not too bad for this weekend then get a new rotor and pads when I get a bit more money. Also what do you think of the Wave rotors are they worth the extra money or would it be better to just get a regular one? thanks.
