Replacement Brake Disc Rotors
Posted: Mon Oct 27, 2014 3:59 pm
Hi Everyone,
The rear rotor on my bike is shot - running my finger over it feels like one of those fancy dinner plates from the 70's, with deep waves and an edge on the outside about 2mm thick. The front is better, but also has a lip on it. My guess is that in this bike's 50,000 miles the brakes haven't been serviced in a LONG time, if ever.
I'm looking at replacement discs and they're a little bit pricey. Are they usually sold in pairs? I don't see any listings denoting front vs. rear. If they're sold individually then I'm not really finding anything under $100 for 1 rotor. For example:

http://www.jcwhitney.com/ebc-brakes-con ... 998y1993j1
Can you confirm that these are sold as a pair? Also, does anyone have any recommendations for a good replacement? Looking for something inexpensive and functional.
Thanks!
