What method(s) of cleaning rotors does everyone use? I pulled a pair out of the spares box I bought with the bike and they have a little surface rust on them. Checked 'em for warpage already and want to make sure they're clean before I mount them on the spare wheel.
Fine emory cloth, to sand them..make sure you use a "cross hatch" patteren...then clean with brake cleaner..:up:
I like to use plumbers tape. The mesh looking stuff that they clean pipes with before soldering. But like above: go in straight lines, rotate a bit, straight lines, rotate a bit, stra....
This is what I do. That way it removes all the imbedded pad material and doesn't harm the rotors themselves.
Go t6o Harbor fgrieght. They are cheap, and you can get glass beads 25 #'s at a time. I have two cabinets. One for sand, and one for glass beads.
