Deglazing rotors...

[FirstDuc-1098]

rotor 'floats' on pins, not attached directly to bike

Cool... How did you like them?

i've never used them. they came with the wheels i bought.

Floating type?

the rotors will wiggle around from the inside. the buttons are those circles that hold the rotor from the center part.

Why do you have to be such a little bitch about it? (Jim, that is)

Because he knows it makes whiny people like you make stupid comments.

Go Jim!

Put the effing wheels on the bike and let the pads do the de-glazing. Rotors don't glaze, girls faces and brake pads do!

Scotch brite Pad Both sides (dry) Give them a good scrub Hit with brake cleaner.

Not brain surgery as Jim would suggest (for him Maybe it is)

I've used a scotch brite drill attachment thing on mine. I think it was meant to strip paint off stuff but worked ok on the rotors. I didn't notice any improvement in braking but maybe my pads and rotors weren't glazed.

edit: nope guess not to strip paint, the one I have is like this but its a drill attachment type http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3...glK6V0H7XKZWbl

NOTHING stronger than scotch brite pads....
.
Don't forget the caliper, if you are going to push them back in (new pads). Don't just push in without removing the grime and buildup on the pistons themselves- the Oring seals that keep the fluid in don't like grime and dirt pushing past them.

Use a toothbrush and silicon spray, spray and slowly work around the pistons with the toothbrush, spraying to wash away the buildup - obviously you unbolt the caliper to get in there... - nothing stronger such as brake cleaner - the Orings around the pistons don't like that stuff.... when it gets right in there.

Huh... that looks pretty nifty. Bought an assorted pack of sandpaper after work, and some scotchbrite pads. Just don't tell anyone I will be sanding my rotors on a Friday night... Oh, too late.
