Frequently asked questions

How do I know if my rotor is warped?

A pulsing brake lever or a rhythmic rubbing sound as the wheel spins usually means the rotor is bent or warped.

Should I replace pads when I replace the rotor?

Usually yes - fresh pads bed in properly to a new rotor and give the best, quietest braking.
