trialsmax04 Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 right, when i built my bike i got a seccond hand rotor and im sure it is slightly contaminated. Now im sure its not contaminated with brake fluid as i know how shit they go when contaminated with that. But when it gets wet its just major gash. Any ideas on what its contaminated with? and the best way to clean my rotor and pads please? max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 People will say different thing below me, but this is what works for me every time. Meths - Bit in the bottom of a coke can, cut top off, put pads in (enough to just cover the pads), set it alight. When all the meths has burn away, remove (be careful, hotness). Put meths on a lint free, new, clean rag and rub all over disk braking surfaces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_Fel Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Have a sip of meths while you're there and that will cure all your problems. (for a while) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6ft-midget Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Yeah go for meths for the brake pads and for the rotor, you could stick it in the dishwasher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
