Didnt realise till it was pointed out-i have a bent back rotor!
Just wondering what could have caused it?
I've only had the bike a few months, so im only just getting to grips with the "must check before purchases". *duh*!!![]()

how about an emergency braking excersise ?
Could be lots of reasons. Most common is overheating, and then cooling down when stopped. The caliper retains heat on that part of the disc, which sets up stresses in the metal, causing warpage.
Could also have suffered a knock or something. Perhaps a hamfisted tyre change.
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
Most likely cause...
The back rotor only has about 10% of the energy the front ones get put through them.....
So, my guess is that the wheel has fallen to the floor while it was off the bike.
OR, the rim was stood on while the tyre was levered off...
Or, the rim went flying when it got popped out of the tyre....
Rear disc rotors hardly ever wear out. I'm sure a good second hand one can be found easily....

WTB: Hyosung bikes or going or not.
could possibly have had some numpty try to ride off with the disc lock still in it - that's usually pretty good at munting brake discs.

where opinion holds more weight than fact.
It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.
