Title: hot rotor
Post by serowbot on 08/01/06 at 15:37:44

Just replaced my pads with ceramics but while checking the old ones I noticed that the rotor gets very hot. I don't mean after heavy braking or anything... just from rolling along. The friction is enough to get the rotor to hot to touch! Normal?

could be drag'n a little - did you lube the pins when you did the brakes? should slide fairly easy

Sounds normal for it to be a little hotter than you can hold your hand on. But I agree to clean and lube the pins. ;)

Mine gets pretty warm too. I notice it when I put my disc lock on it.

What pins? Is that the single-disc piston ?
BTW, thanks for all the responses.

this has a bit of info in it - the pins are under the rubber boots - that are what the moving half of the caliper slides on - if these are dry or dirty it can make the pads drag a little -
