Uneven disc brakes
Hi Guys,
I noticed that one of the disc brake surface is uneven.
I guess the disc pad is not completely touching the entire disc brake surface, unlike the other three disc brakes.
I reckon if I buy a new brake pad (due anytime now) and place it over the uneven disc, the raised surface will just "eat up" the new disc pad.
What are my options?
Thanks.

RE: Uneven disc brakes
The inner part of the disc brake where the disc pad comes in contact with is smooth.
The outer part is rough and a bit raised, since the disc pad does not come in contact with it.
If I install the new pad, the brake pad will come in contact with raised outer part of the disc brake first and thin out the pad.
Can I just replace the disc pad and will it even out eventually?

RE: Uneven disc brakes
I know exactly what you are talking about..
And yes it will..
But just to be thorough, go to your local hardware store and get a caliper to measure the thickness of the rotor
Then check out the Rave Manual and make sure the rotor is not below
the minimum thickness.
Its easier to do it right the first time I have found...
