liam_thornton Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 (edited) Im annoyed because my disc is bent, I unbent it so it didn't rub as much, I was really happy so I thought I would go and have a quick go on my bike out the front of my house. So i got out there started messing about, then i tried a gap to front wheel up a kirb, my disc brake didn't work and I just rolled forwards. Any suggestions?Good topic though.

paulbell123 Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 my bike has always got something wrong with it at the moment the front brake has got a lazey piston and when i fix that i dont even want to think what it will be next, so if even one could say a pray for the health and welbeing of my bike that would make me feel better thanks paul bell.

Any suggestions?Sounds like you may have contaminated the rotor when you straightened it out perhaps.Give it a good clean and a degrease, and check the pads too (if these are buggered you will more than likely need a new set) and hopefully you should be good to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onzat-comp Posted January 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Hi its rick If your front disk is bent there is three options. 1) try and bent the disk back to shape and hope your pads wear into it. 2) Find out weather or not ur disk has heat memory, if it dose stick it in oven and it will go back to shape. 3) £££ get a new disk £££ PS:I have done number two and it works rather well but its a bugger to find out weather your disk is heat memory.Hope i have helped.

RobinJI Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 PS:I have done number two and it works rather well but its a bugger to find out weather your disk is heat memory.erm... not too hard to find out, you could stick it in the oven, if it has heat memory then it will go back, if it doesn't, it will do bugger all. Nothing to loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liam_thornton Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 (edited) I went out riding today and after an hour or so my disk brake started to work, so i'm happy now, and to make my day better I bought a 4gb Ipod nano off of a mate for £40.

Mr Rankin Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 I really really want a 2004 Monty 221 Ti in black with front and rear maguras! i had a silver one in 2005 and loved it untill the dual disc montys came out, so got a twin disc and now wana go back to a 2004. they are sooooooo light and competition friendly. the biggest kick in the balls is that they are out of production and nobody has a mint one for sale! p.s. if there is a nice one out there let me knowcheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
