gb20 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Ok, so I grabbed a set of the front brakes from silverminemotors.com. I gotta say, these are pretty. The only thing is that there is a little bit of rust on one of the rotors. Do I need to clean this off before installation and if so, what's the best way to do it? Thanks for the help guys.

cockerstar Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Soak it in some vinegar and it will wipe off with a wet rag in the morning Overnight should be able to take car of anything you probably have and less time is probably sufficient. The less time they spend in there, the better. As long as you don't have any pitting or scoring you should be good to go. If there is minor imperfections, they can be turned, but if there is anything after a wipe-down I would be contacting the seller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RigilKent Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 you could always put them in then brake. that would get rid of it. if is just surface rust its no big deal i get the on my bike some times. just breaking once and its gone. but as said if its anything more major contact seller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-Z Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 If its just surface rust (orange), then I wouldn't worry. If its pitted or hard rust (brown), I would just have them resurfaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gb20 Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 Sweet! Thanks guys. Its just surface rust so I'll just stick em on there. Thanks again, Gb20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woldson Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Even after a week or so of sitting, in the rainy season they rust up all the time. Really nothing to sweat. I always use break kleen before useing in order to remove any oil from my hands that get on the disk. This will remove the rust as well.
