It's incredibly easy to bend a rotor like that if the wheel is placed on a workbench on the rotor side.

I had noticed a Nick on the running edge of the rotor but  didn't think too much of it just it being another make from them being heavy handed. Of course couldn't tell it was bent.

New rotor comes in on Tuesday.  Chris at  the Kowie dealership  said if I stop by he'll buy me a coffee hehehe! What a guy.

    Well all is sorted, new rear sprocket,  new rear brake disc, new rear brake pads. Pulled the bike off the centre lift today then took

 It out for it's  test run, it run great and handled great finally no further issues.  Man what a ride this threads been.

  BTW. The Michelin Commanders ll  made a noticeable difference to the ride and handling feels a lot more responsive. 

I definitely from today's ride like the feel of these tyres.

Good report.  As some famous English playwright guy from a long time ago wrote - All's well that ends well.  ;D

I agree these tires ride nice.  Glad to hear you are back on the road.

I've had too many bad tire change experiences myself (nothing quite this bad though) and bought the tools to DIY.  Never going back.

That's definitely on my bucket list come the next change.

I've clocked my mileage to see if I'm going to get any where near the 25k they say one can get out of these tyres.
