Q. Do I need to burnish the rotors before I use them?
A. Yes, just like the other rotors on the market, you will need to burnish them, which is done by simply riding and stopping. When using any new rotor, ours or somebody elses, using them heats them up a little and transfers some of the brake pad material onto the braking surface of the rotor. Please take it easy the first few times you use anybody’s new rotor, a Dirty Dog MTB or any other manufacturer
Q. I don’t seem to be getting the stopping power that I need, what’s wrong?
A. Try some rubbing Alcohol to clean the rotor braking surface, or a degreaser. If there is oil on the rotors, they won’t stop that well. If that doesn’t work, then consult your brake caliper manufacturer’s instructions / troubleshooting guides. You may need to check the wear on your calipers, brake set-up or depending on your riding style, upsize to a bigger rotor.
Q. What size rotors do you make?
A. 160mm, 185mm, & 203mm. All are 0.070" thick.
