• Is there a decent disc brake mount facing tool that is significantly cheaper than the Park one that costs a five hundred quid?

    Both my bikes that have flat mounts are both carbon and both seem to have the same issue of excess paint/material left that makes it near impossible to set without any rub.

    There’s a tiny bit of paint that’s creating a high spot. I’m tempted to try shave it down a fraction with a Stanley blade, but I’m also a bit too pedantic to not use the correct tool for the job…

    Google isn’t showing any tools other than the pricey Park ones. Is there something else?

  • my brother in christ - just head to your LBS who probably have the park tools one

    There's this for making individual spot faces more or less orthogonal to the fixing screw axis, you'll want a straight edge and some feeler gauges to get both faces in more or less the same plane.

    Obviously in a precision engineering situation you'd never use a threaded hole as a reference, but I bet it would get you close enough.
