Hey guys, just wondering... starting to face trouble with my rear brakes after flying with the bike a couple of times. Already replaced my disc once (shouldn't have put disc facing out), but now it's impossible to properly calibrate the disc rotor/caliper. Looking from the side, even the rotor doesn't seem to be center anymore! Not sure if I should change the rim, brakes, or both. DH shop already tried replacing disc and it doesn't seem to be the issue - might have to go back this weekend and ask the boss to have a look at it instead of the machai.

Err... the disc is swaying side to side (which can be "adjusted") and also seems to slightly out of the center position from the axis (but very minor). My main annoyance is that despite putting a lot of time into correcting the side sway... I can't seem to get it perfect  Still got slight touching at some spots. Quite anal about this kind of thing that's why now my head is thinking about replacing the entire brake system, or possibly the rim.

I'll swing by Uptown and see what the boss has to say. They don't have much selection of discs though... anywhere else to recommend? I'm thinking of having a look at Rodalink Bangsar as well...
