Disc Rotors

[dylankeyter]

Hi Hubbers

 

I am having issues with my rotors, they are slightly warped and are affecting my braking power considerably, because the disc touches the pads and I have to loosen the tension. I would like to know how to 'true' my rotors, can you shed any light? I have used the Parktool disc trueing tool, and it works OK, but its time consuming. I'm thinking of something to do with putting pressure on the discs, putting them under a truck or a heavy load. What has worked for you?

 

Thanks

if they are 6 bolt rotors put them under a pot while cooking your dinner tonight and then just leave them there to cool off for a bit and they will be straight on your ride in the morning

do a search on the hub... the best seems to be on a stove with a heavy pot on top

Yip they are the 6 bolt type and no that doesn't work, I have tried that.

OK I will try a heavier pot

your stove is not hot enough or your pot is not heavy enough!!!

Clearly. I will try each rotor separately this time as well
