My ex-wife asked me to look at her rear disc brake on the car because it was making a noise, i dont have any pictures but the thickness of what was left of the disc was 1mm and had parted company with the hub :eek2 :eek2 :eek2

Big recommend for Sidcup Motorcycle Tyres, friendly, honest, helpful bunch, worth a visit.

You might want to ring ahead to make sure they have your tyres in stock, though.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Brilliant! Some totally shocking pictures. Nothing wrong with doing a burn out though just before the tyre is replaced. IMO thats getting full VFM
