papa al Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 100% Trials newbie. Bought a 30 year old Aprila. I bought the bike sight unseen, shipped to me. The brake pads are fine but the rotors are rusted. not 'surface'-rust that that I've seen on my road and dirt-bike rotors; much thicker. The rear in particular seems to work poorly. The seller assures me that this is normal. Dunno, maybe I'm making a to-do over nothing. Maybe strong brakes aren't expected on a trials bike. What do you guys say. Should I consider having the rotors turned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daviesdt Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 I'd personally get new rotors if they are as bad as you describe. They may actually be weakened and worst case could break/fail under braking load. I personnaly prefer rock solid brakes on my trials bike, want to know they wont slip if im balancing on something dodgy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbertlemon102 Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 I get the feeling you mean Moto-trials and not bicycle trials? If so, wrong forum but there's plenty here who can still help you out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
