cracked rotors are they safe?

Post by wig »

I won some rotors on junk bay. they came through with more cracks that you can imagine. Are these dangerous to use?
(I presume they are, and have started a dispute etc but just wanted to check?)
Cheers!

How good is your imagination?

Brake discs shatter...bike either locks front and throws you at the floor at ??? mph... you tumble and smash yourself up quite a lot..


All the things on your bike are important as they can be lethal but any doubts about brakes would mean that I would ont ride the bike - no way.

as cm says,dont entertain them at all.....not worth the risk.anything brake related or tyre(wheel) related in my opinion is the most important part.......

I think you should name and shame them followed by their address.

Far too many tossers on ebay.

do you still have the link to the listing?
if item was described as ok, usable... got some life left etc.. even that is NOT describing the item right.
email the seller and ask for your money back. if they say no, open a dispute on ebay AND paypal.

I have contacted ebay and they seem interested so far but i think so far for not listing correctly.
paypal have got me some of my money back which is good.

I still want something done about the fact that this seller is crazy.
i put a link here but i think it got removed (sorry if that was naughty)
