harmertrials Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Chuck water on it, drag it down a hill. Repeat it a few times and should be good to go. It's a good idea to replace your pads at the same time though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trialsiain Posted June 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 i heard that if oyu put water on it when its hot it glazes the pads or something ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) Some say the rotor becomes brittle and cracks bla bla bla... it wont. By the time youve put more water on it, put down your water putterona device and got on the bike to ride it, the water will have cooled the pads and rotor. It'll be fine.

Dave Sutton Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 I sanded my pads down a little and they instantly had so much aggression! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
