Rebuilt Brake Rotors Showed Up Today

[Bob_Roller]

UPS just delivered my rebuilt brake rotors from Spiegler Performance .

Hubs were glass bead blasted .

Look good so far, the rotors are held on to the hub by large head allen bolts, the original rivet holes are drilled and tapped .

Completely rebuildable by an owner probably in about 15 minutes each .

Not going to install them, until I get new tires and tubes installed first, in about two weeks, when I'm on vacation for five weeks .

Five week vacation?

I hope they call you the day before it is over to remind you to come back!

[Bob_Roller]

Believe it or not, I'm ready to go back to work after five weeks !

About the only thing I have problems with, is remembering the umpteen passwords for computer access .

I write them down, and keep it my tool box at work, or I will forget what they are, they expire every 90 days, so you don't keep the same ones for very long .

[Darwin_R65]

It's a bitch sometimes when they change passwords frequently. Whilst in the military our stock system changed passwords weekly and no password was allowed to be repeated. aaaaaargh.

I bumped my head and forgot all my passwords, telephone numbers even the number of the house I live in.

Also lost credit cards etc in the accident .... try applying for new ones when you can't remember your address, phone nuumbers etc......

Hey Bob, Pictures please!!

Did you buy their brake pads or are you still using the BMW pads?

[Bob_Roller]

I got 2 sets of EBC graphite pads, FA18, off of Craigslist for $30 a week after I got the bike, so hopefully they will work on these rotors .

Sorry, no pictures, never got around to getting a digital camera, let alone, how to post them !

Bob were the rebuilt disks available in Canada as a kit.  The originals were riveted with very little clearance to the fork leg, bolts not going to be a problem.  Mine needs replacing as the rotor has a couple of small cracks that must be addressed before spring.

[Bob_Roller]

You send the rotors to Spiegler, and they do all the work at their shop .

Once it's done, the owner can replace all of the components as necessary, with common hand tools .

Justin can't comprehend, that someone these days doesn't have a digital camera, let alone how to post pictures .
