Hi,

I recently installed a new rotor, and new pads. I am getting pulsating when I stop. It appears to be seated properly on the hub. Does the new rotor need a run in, or am I missing something? Thanks!

I rolled my bike with the front brake slightly pressed. When I reached the point that my candles compressed slightly, I marked my rotor with a marker. I then measured with my digital calliper. I measured at each trio of drilled holes, at the same depth, using the last hole as a guide marker. The thickness of the disc was consistently 6.65 mm, and dipped to 6.57 mm where I marked the disc.

Would this be enough difference to be the cause? Many thanks to everyone who replied.

Cheers,

Gatsby
