Gday, I have a warp in my front disc - has been there for some time but it seems to be getting worse so figured I should replace it. Do I replace both, are any brands better than the other, is it worth looking second hend etc?

Any advice would be appreciated

Thanks
Ben

Discs can be straightened. not 100% success rate but can be done. I have had one done on the 10r race bike and it is fine. I think Wattie has had the same done with no issues

not sure around Newcastle.

I used laurie Alderton in Smithfield. Cost me $50 or so to get it straightened.

You could always just post it to him if you can do with out it for a bit.

Sorry for the late response. Turned out it wasn't warped rotors/discs at all but needed to hit the pads and rotors with some paper!! Graeme Morris pointed this out to me and it seems to have fixed the problem.

Thanks
Ben
