    Rear rotor

    Posted 31 March 2012 - 10:32 PM If he really thinks the rotor can cause the brakes to hang, then let him replace it! I hate it when the rotor sucks the pads down by itself. Happened to me, once..... no, wait, that was that sticky pedal thing, after all. Come on boys, I understand that I was...
