Subject: Re: disc lock
My disc is only slightly dammaged, which means that the front wheel is
still spinning but at one point of the brake disk it is dragging along the
brake. This finally stops the spinning of the wheel and I feel a pulse beat
at my lever while using the front brake ( some primitive ABS ). Is there a
way to repair the disc?
I worked with my front disc last week. It was slightly bend after changing
tyres. The front breaks works perfect now.
I straighten it bye using a hammer and a softer plastic piece between, to
protect the disc for direct hit from the hammer. All measuring of bended
front disc must bee done from the front fork as referens point. (The
callipers are moves).
I think your disc is not bendt, but only the "disc lock" hole that is
damaged. Renove the edge of the "disc lock" hole, and i think your disc is
OK.
Do I destroy my second front disk when driving with the damaged one? If I
buy a new one, do I have to replace both disks? Is it the same when I
replace it with a used one?
Prices for new disc is sick. You can work som houers on the disc for the
kost of a new on.
