    As you can see a lot of rust has built up on the rotor hub and this to me is not good enough.. Any advice to clean this up? anything else besides having them re sprayed?




    Thanks in advance

    Yeah, not too difficult to deal with. Wire wheel or brush, degrease, and leave it bare or paint it.

    MSW = Most Soft Wheel.

    Had a set of those identical wheels in 20's but all silver and after bending two got rid of them... watch out for any pot holes these things are like warm butter.

    I have another question,

    If the rotor new is 365mmx34mm then what would be the minimum you can run this rotor thickness (If I was to shave/lathe them)?

    Can't find anywhere and hoping braking experts can chime in..

    Cheers

    I think it's 30mm when they recommend replacing them.
