    Is there a guy in the community who lightens/machines rear brake rotors? I have 3 that I would like to lighten. Not sure if it is cheaper to pay someone to do it or just buy some light rear rotors.

    Thanks!

    I own a machine shop. I can’t imagine it’s cheaper to pay some one to program, set up and the run a couple then it is to just buy one.

    maybe a hobbyist with a knee mill and a rotary table could do it on the cheap.

    Even as a guy that owns CNC’s I’d just buy one. Just my .02

    the guy i referenced was doing them for $75 shipped, and they were original, oem rotors and not cheap chinesium rotors. Fwiw

    that’s a great price. He must’ve done quite a few and has a really good/efficient process hammered out

    Yep, that's what I was getting at. He can do a lot of different bike models and just did a couple for me. He's even got some different patterns to choose from depending on the bike.
