Moderator Cynic Posted August 1, 2012 Moderator Share Posted August 1, 2012 Sorry no dice. The official wear limit on those disks will be maybe 1mm. If their marked or scored their fkd simple. You could maybe vapour bkast the carrier but even that my affect the bobbins. At the end of the day they are a life or death item. Don't take chances.

Matthew Duncan Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 it would have been purely for cosmetic reasons, but i managed to clean them up with a wire wheel drill bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grouch Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 They will just clean themselves when you use them, they will be ok after a few miles. Unless they are FUBAR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
