Does that mean the rotor was warped or have you now made it bowl shaped? What benefit does grinding off the lawyer tabs provide?
My Escapade makes a noise at the rear when I ride hard again presumably due to the frame flexing. It's a 132.5mm spaced rear end and the pads never seem to get parallel to the rotor and therefore rear braking is not optimal. I wonder if this a consequence of a 135mm hub on a 132.5 mm frame, if so a 130mm hub would give similar results.
