Matthew Duncan Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 anyone ever had brake disks skimmed? needing my project bikes brakes tidied up as there is plenty of life in them, rear not even been used, but due to sitting have became a wee bitty rusty dont want to get the grit blasted cos it'll make a rought surface finish so was looking at getting them skimmed but have heard a few horror stories like disks warping ect anyone got any advice/stories/experience ? Matt
Moderator Cynic Posted August 1, 2012 Moderator 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 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
Grouch Posted November 23, 2012 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.
