    However, how dangerous is it to ride my bike with this? Should I just park my bike up until I get it fixed or can I continue to ride it?


    Hasn't Jrandom been riding this bike?

    Christ that guy has the midas touch of an arsehole, every bike he touches turns to shit.

    Don't let him near your bike Jody!

    It's new. And it comes with new pads. I checked. Get the disk and pads fitted at the same time.

    If ya want a second opinion, bring it over and I'll take a peek, or get someone else who knows what they're lookin at to have a look. Most of 'em will go undersize ok, just take a good close look for any fractures that may be there...

    Strangely enough, he has been riding my bike and pointed out the issue with the disc, otherwise I would still be riding around oblivious until the next warrant (in 6 months time). However, I'm not hard on the brakes like he is I like to stop slowly (better safe than sorry). I have a disc and brakes coming so it will be replaced in the next week or so. So I will make up my mind as to whether she is safe to ride or whether my discomfort at knowing my bike isn't 100% will stop me from riding.

    I think the latter. Thanks for the advice everyone I really appreciate it.
