Hey all
My rear brake rotor has a bit of edge on it from pad digging into it. I was thinking to grind it off. But I don't have a grinder. Only these disks you can buy which attach to the end of drill with a special bit. Is it a waste of time to try and do it this way. Or do I need a real grinder.
As for why I just don't go out an buy a new rotor. I have been trying to track down this sweak on the rear end of the bike. I have narrowed it down to the brake. My thought being this grove from this edge on the rotor is causing the pad to wiggle. Also I rather try this approach and see if is solves/or at least get me on the right track before just doing the replacement. The rotor itself still seems pretty thick.
Thoughts I know you have them!
