worn rotor

The recession is causing alot of desperate acts.

My 2 cents says its fake. I can see the machining marks on the vanes and there is no ridge next to the hub where the pads don't touch. I used to be a tool and pattern maker, so I know what machining marks look like. If it were real, the pads would be grated off in a couple off brake applications if the pistons didn't pop out of the calipers first. There would be pad material everywhere. Someone with a brake lathe is having a good time posting this for a laugh.

Those are pretty smooth cuts, but you can see 2 deeper areas where the pad rivets line up.

I agree - fake. Why would the rotor be worn between the pad and the hub? The pad doesn't make contact there.

Humorous nonetheless.
