As spring approches, even though the temp outside is Zero headed to -8 farenheit tonight, my garagre is a balmy 35 degrees just warm enough to go out and play with my new micrometer. What shoud I measure first, oh I know, I was planning on replacing my front brake rotors this year lets see how bad they are. Ok, well the first is just under four mm. Lets check the other one. that can't be right, try this again, no I must have messed up. Double check the first one again no that is the same as before. Recheck the second one - 2.5 mm - insert bad word(s) here!
My plan was to replace the rotors, brake pads and rebuild both caliers this spring, but this kinda proves how much I need too! I always thought that the brakes were a bit weak but never had a situation that I didn't have more than enough braking power. I am looking frward to this project as the bike doesn't move till this is done. I will admit I feel like a fool for not checkng this sooner, as I like to keep up on my maintence, and I just rebuilt the rear caliper and did brakes late last summer.
