Bought a new bike recently and decided it was time for disk brakes. I hadnt upgraded earlier because i was worried about bending the disk in a crash.

Well, it happened.....Did an endo in a steep rocky section. Somehow got out of my pedals and managed to grade a tree. My bike on the other hand continued with several flips, boucing off rocks.

Everything is fine, except my rear disk.....its bent. I bent it back a bit by hand, enough to get home. But it still warped. Not badly, but its still rubbing the pads - definitely not rideable.

So, is there any easy way to straighten it?? I can imagine just chasing the bend around for ages, trying to get rid of it.

Thanks....

Sorry to hear about the high side, hope you're okay.

You can try taking it off, laying it on a concrete floor, high side up and whacking it with a dead blow mallet. Or, just replace it, they're cheap enough.

Ya....tried that. Not sure exactly what kind of answer I was looking for, hahaha......Thanks though!!!!

I'm in Korea, things are overpriced here. But i'll never be able to straighten it. $40....just ordered another one.

Thanks.
