Muel Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 adjustable spanner and bend it back.Do that, use the caliper as a jig and bend it slightly, spin, bend, spin, bend , spin and so on, until the rotor is true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NileBrown™ Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 What I normally do is ride about with the front brake on, (like if you were bedding the pads in) and the rotor should heat up quite a lot and then use the spanner method. Just makes life easier thats all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Owen. Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 (edited) Ride along quite fast, and hold your brake on a little bit, it will warm up and if you hold the brake in the right place it will warp itself straight. I used to keep having to do it with mine, really p*sses me off! Let me guess, its a mono trial brake/rotor?Oh yeah, and i know its not as fun as smashing the crap out of it with a hammer, but if its a mono trial, the rotors are so weak you can just bend it back with your hands!

timmorley Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 alright guys n girls, sumtimes when this happens its just because your rotor bolts arnt equally tightened up. so before you go and twat your disc take it off then tighten the bolts up opposite sides and with equal pressure, (reccomend a torque wrench ). this helps because sometimes it may tweak the rotor on the hub.cheerstim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
