Re: check out this rotor

this guy said that he didnt feel any thing wrong with his brakes.
he said that he was just doing a normal brake service and figured he would change rotors and pads!

Re: check out this rotor

It took me a moment to figure out what it was, because I've never seen anything in that kind of condition before.

Re: check out this rotor

I've seen plenty like that, and I've even seen some where the rotor was disconnected from the hub because it wore through the connection between the two.

Re: check out this rotor

how the hell could someone not notice this? the brake pads would have disappeared and the pistons would be grabbing the rotor before it got this bad. someone had to know
