DAB Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 heya, just wondering, will cillit bang decontaminate my disk? its a degreaser so will it do the trick?BenMore that likely not.... the best way to decontaminate the rotor is to bin it and by a new rotor and pads!!!! if you don't want to do that, the first thing to do is get new pads, (as most of the contamination is in the pads) and put rotor on a cooker hob and heat it up so you you burn the grease and oil out of it (because the grease and oil penetrates the metal when it gets hot through riding) then let it cool naturally (so don't put it under the cold tap or it will warp) then when cool, use a wire wheel to clean the rotor and refit..... 90% of the time it won't work and the new pads you bought will be f#cked again, then it's new pads and rotor time anyway... so save time and just buy new pads and rotor, it's not worth all the f#cking about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzo Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Buy new pads deffo, but I wouldn't agree to buying a new rotor unless you have more money than sense. Just clean it off as suggested above.I dont think cilit bang would work too well, it might, but its risky as it might leave over deposits which could either 1.make your brake shit, 2. make it squeeze like hell or..hell, it might even work. If you try it let us know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Cable Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Hello, put your rotor in the dishwasher, and put your pads in boiling water. Sorted, Brakes now good!From Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaRtZ Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 run a front maggie and not worry about contamanion. haha Im sure i saw somewhere that someone said you could still contaminate a rim brake? Anyway I suggest boiling water and then pop your disc and pads into it and allow to boil uncovered for minimum 5 minutes couple of things to remember though:* Make sure they're your pans or if not make sure your parents are out and wont be back for a while* Make sure that the pan is MUCH bigger than the rotor of the disc. I put my disc in my pand and it was a tight fit, then ofcourse as it heated up...... * When putting your brake back together dont touch any of it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totaltrials Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 (edited) Do it on your bike, ride around like an escaped mental patient would with your brake rubbing for ages until it's basically glowing red and get a hose pipe on it straight away and cool it down, you can even play games with the steam if you get bored.phil.

who,me? Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Just out of curiosity...did it work?!I myself tried the dishwasher method just last night as suggested by lee, superb results As for the Pads, I put em in the oven for a while and rub off crap with clean cloth.The combo of these gives very sharp brakes!

Si-man Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Put lighter fluid or petrol on the pads and set them on fire to burn away any crud.Clean the rotor with fairy liquid and hot waterJob doneYou can alos bake your pads in the oven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 gaffa tape your rotor to the top of your car and go through a car wash.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 On the mention of cillit bang if you spray/apply it to your rims (when your using a magura/vee) then it gives an awesome hold and cleans it to! woot!!11one1!1one!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
